Got tired quickly of the blues all over the place and have wanted to go fluking(my favorite fishing.) Was gonna go thursday but got called to work, didn't like the tides on friday so this morning was my first go... Fished the outgoing from 11:30 to 1:30. Fishing wasn't great by any means, I had a few bit tails and lost 2 shorts right 2 feet in front of me, and I caught 3 blues had a doubleheader on the teaser and bucktail actually.... The highlight was the 1 fluke I did land, which is obviously the first of the year at 19 inches. What was great about this fish was it hit 4 feet away from me and I actually seen it swallow my teaser. I've seen that before but never so clearly like today or with a keeper sized fish.

Last year the first fluke I caught was 19 inches aswell and 2014 was a great year, though that was early June, not mid May

Hopefully that indicates 2015 will be even better.

All were caught on Gulp
