Had John M charter the boat today with his son Brian and nephew Phil for a half-day shot at bluefish and fluke. Ran north, ocean was nice and visibility was almost 3 miles all the way up to the rocks...
Started out jigging on some marks, and we hooked 2 quick bluefish, but lost both. The next 2 hours we were in search mode, dropping jigs on ridiculous marks but the fish weren't responding. Tried shads, krocs, tail-less ava's, etc. just couldn't get it going...
Ran in on the beach to finish up the morning fluke fishing, and had very good action with short fluke topped by 1 right @ 18" and a beautiful 3# seabass both taken by Phil. We finished up trying to chase down some more bluefish but it wasn't meant to be so we headed for the barn @ 1230.
You gotta post the good with the bad, and today was just one of those tough days. Nevertheless the guys had a great time and had some action, and we also beat the the heat as it was real nice out on the water, and a roaster at the dock!
