Reel Class Morning Fluke 6/14
« on: June 14, 2009, 06:31:42 PM »
Originally planned to not fish today so I didn't schedule any trips - however I got a lot of crap done yesterday and last night after my cert test @ OCC so I freed up this morning to fish. Made a couple of calls on the short list, and got a 3 man crew together last minute to fish the 6:30-11 shift before I had more crap to do this afternoon.

Anyways, got out as planned at 6:30 and with limited time I told the guys we were going to fish the river. Fished from Clark's E to the inlet. Started out real close to home, had a lot of action with some short fluke with a wind against tide. Ran closer to the inlet, more of the same. Once we had incoming water, the fish got a little bigger. Scratched out a few barely keepable sized fish right near the inlet, then went back to the stretch W of 35 to pick a few more keepers plus a load more shorts.

Most of the shorts today were 10-15", with only a few in the 16 to 17.5" range. We boated approximately 80 fluke with 6 being nice keepers of 18-19.5".

All fish were taken on light or ultralight tackle using bucktail/gulp combos and/or jigheads tipped with gulp. Live killies fished on light bucktails also produced a few fish. Anthony was high hook with 3 keepers, Doc wound up with 2, and I had the other. Jason kept the shorts out of the way for us!  no birds, no sundials, every fish boated was a fluke. A good morning - weather was lil crappy, but the catching was good.

All fish were taken on light or ultralight tackle using bucktail/gulp combos and/or jigheads tipped with gulp.

Nice catch...a few questions

1)What #lb line where you guys using(what do you consider light/ultra light tackle?

2) What was the actual rig setup? Is that a dropper loop on a four-foot piece of fluorocarbon leader material with one end bucktail/gulp and the dropper having just a gulp?

20# braid with a 20# shock leader

Pretty much a hi-lo rig with a gulp shrimp as the high hook and a bucktail as the low hook

Ah ok.

I fish off of the bulkhead on the Point Pleasant side(that top pic looks like you were right in the channel near the end of the Wall). I can never get the same numbers as the boats(for obvious reasons) but I am always looking to improve on my fluke jigging tactics. That hi-lo rig would probably be a problem fishing off of the side like that due to the snags on the bottom. I usually use a 3 way swivel with two 14 LB fluorocarbon leaders attached. The bottom is about 2 feet in length with a 1-2 oz sinker attached and the other is 2-3’ in length with Gulp Minnow or grub. I usually just cast that out and bounce in along the bottom back to shore.
