Reel McCoy II Memorial Day report 2014

[Reel McCoy]

Fresh and rested after my Florida vacation I went out for a short trip to give the fluke a shot.  Made a right turn and gave the Navesink a try.  Started off great, put the first rod out with a white bucktail tipped with a killie and a bare hook teaser also with a killie.  Before I could get the gulp on my jigging rod an 18" fluke was in the box.  Picked a few more shorts until the tide slacked, then made a move upriver.  Again, a 19" keeper in the box.  I picked away at shorts for the next 2 hours and called it quits at 10:30. Total count was 12 fluke/2 keepers and a few 3-4# blues. 
Glad to back in NJ

Nice trip Dan.   How was Florida?  I don't recall seeing a report from you down there.

Nice trip Dan.   How was Florida?  I don't recall seeing a report from you down there.

Florida was very nice but I did not get to fish very much.  I had a boat for 4 days and just cruised around with the wife.  I was in the Ft. Meyers / Sanibel Is. area and most of the fishing was on the flats and I did not have the right boat/gear and local knowledge.  I did manage to loose three fish that hit a plastic tailed jig behind a popping cork and I caught a hardhead catfish in the Gulf.  Next time I will hire a guide and do some serious fishing.

Good report on the fluke. Sorry we didn't get the chance to hook up in Florida for some fishing.
