Raritan Bay Fluke Wed 11 limit
« on: July 11, 2012, 02:08:36 PM »
Capt Don sr & jr left Keyport at Daylight,Net ready for the peanuts,[ fluke candy ] one throw all the nuts we needed.Just the right size for flukeing.Last of the incoming tide with a slight east wind,made for a perfect drift.Water was flat and 79 degrees.we saw a large turtle surface around the boat a couple times.With Bucktail and peanut,WE started our drift,BINGO,fish on,a keeper measured 22"  t^  Did the same drift over and over and caught more keepers then shorts.Had 8 keepers before the drift went bad.About 10 o!clock North East started to pick up,tough to hold bottom with light bucktails.Managed 2 more keepers for our limit,with some more shorts mixed in.Honed the filet knife and headed for the slip at 10:30.Great Day on Raritan Bay.   PS love ::) that fluke candy.

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

Nice report Capt. Question: When you fish a p-nut behind a bucktail, do you need to let the fish chew on it a while before you set the hook? D/Y give some slack? Also, do you have the same success using dead bunkers?

Thx

Also, do you have the same success using dead bunkers?I let the tip of my rod down then rear back and cross his eyes.dead nuts work also,not as good as live.no good frozen
