Hey all, first time on this site and it looks like it has a ton of good info and great folks on it sharing the news.  I won't lurk so I'll throw up my report from this past saturday, 12 July.  Seems like I've been the one boat not getting any keeper fluke (0 for 6 trips) so we tried the kingfish.  Put in about 4 hours of chumming near the clam stakes in Great Bay but only got one small king.  Loads of short flounder, dogfish, skates and sea robins though.  Has anyone done any good sharking in the bay or just outside?  We're not looking for anything special, just some toothy critters to fight and tag for another day. 

Welcome to the site t^

Picked up 6 weakies near the brick pile at sunrise this morning. They all were around 12 inches and one was 14 inches We picked them all up in about 20 minutes. Once the boat traffic picked up the bite shut down as usual.

Headed to the LE reef and fished the SE area. A lot of throw backs but we did manage to get three keepers, 18, 21 and 22 inches. All the keepers were taken on large sea robbin strips. The fluke are definately there.

Back at the dock around noon and finished the day with a few VERY cold Boddingtons and a good cigar.

Yeah, great trip Capt. Ron... slt

How about that weather Rod.  I am beginning to hate the weather man.  But I have to say we did get rain in the evening and I heard thunder down your way.

Oh well I hope Monday is better.

As much as I hate to fish on the weekends, I bite the bullet and took the brother inlaw and my two nephews out today (Sunday). Fished the LE reef again, south east side. We got into a mess of smaller blues (12-13 inches) The kids had a great time. We also picked up 5 keeper fluke and about 20 good size (16 -17 inch) throw backs. The fluke were all taken on sea robin strips.

Back at the dock at 2pm and was enjoying a few VERY cold Boddington and a good cigar while I supervised the clean up crew.   chrz chrz

Good job Capt...bet the kids had a blast with the blues!

I hear you on the weekends...know how bad the roads are, can't imagine the water!!  Although, it was for a good reason you went out.

Actually my drive down is not all that bad even on weekends. I weave my down through the pines and rarely have to deal with more than an occasional car. I just hate to deal with all the boat traffic including the jet skies and the inconsiderate people behind the wheel of a boat.

Heading down to look at a Carolina Classic today, it seems like there are a lot of good deals out there.   ;D

Hey Wreckfish,
I will give you a shout on channel 68. I am usually on channel 9 though.

One of the old time guys at the marina is supposed to take me out tuesday and share some of his special numbers with me. If you are going to be out there let me know.

Got out Sat and Sun for some reef fluken. Fished GSS and GSN on Saturday. Caught lots of fluke but only 6keepers to 21 inches. On Sunday I fished a local tournament. We fished LE Reef and Garden State South. Caught about 60 fluke with only 2 for the box. I am glad we entered the searobin part of the tournament. Our by catch netted us 335 bucks. Enough to cover the week ends expenses. chrz

Damn, how big was that Sea Robin ?  Good thing you didn't cut it up for fluke bait.
