Fellow Anglers,
There's a song that goes "What a difference a day makes", well that's the only way to describe the Fluke charter we just completed today. From desperately trying to find Fluke a few days ago, to an absolute kick butt day of fishing here at Sandy Hook today.
Every drift produced 3 and 4 fish with good size keepers mixed in with the shorts. Fat plump keepers in the 3 to 5 lb. range met their fate in our net and really delighted our customers Thomas Noble and Dale Lansdowne of Syracuse, NY. There is no doubt that a new body of fish have moved in and are as hungry as a bear. Drifting bait adorned with fresh pure white squid strips and Peruvian smelts got whacked time and again and if you really wanted some fantastic action try bucktail jigging with 4 oz. Spro's and a teaser setup dressed with a squid strip.
Haven't had a day like today this year with all quality keepers.......even the throwbacks that were just shy of legal were fat and heavy in the net. So far, this Fluke season is turning out to be a very good year. Had current and wind working in harmony which probably explains the good fishing today, but as we all know, that doesn't happen everyday. We even come up with stinker days too, just like the June 4th and 5th charters but that's how it goes sometimes.
Tight Lines,
Capt. John
