Seven Pound Fluke!

Fished with Darryl, Jenna, and Sean on Sunday. We had a fun morning catching fluke and bluefish. We ended up with four or five keeper fluke and released a bunch. Jenna had the fish of the day with her huge fluke that weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces and measured almost 27 inches! She did a great job bringing it in considering we all thought she was snagged at first!

Double Sided Fluke

A friend of mine caught this flounder on Saturday. Watch the video, it is pretty amazing. Normally flounder are brown on one side and white on the other. This flounder is brown on both sides. Very unusual. I have seen flounder with birthmarks on the white side but never one that was totally brown all over.

Windy and Cold

Fished with Joe and Greg on Sunday morning. We were flyfishing in less than perfect conditions. Fishing had been very good. Unfortunately, I think the cold easterly wind finally got to them. We gave it our all but came up empty.

Fluke Opening Day

Took two of my favorite fishing partners out for opening day. I needed two ringers so I brought my Dad and Uncle out for the day. We started our day releasing three stripers and a bluefish on poppers first thing. We also missed another ten bites. We moved on to fluke fishing. We ended up with five keepers to about three and a half pounds and released over twenty other fluke. I went back out at sunset with Dusty and we caught a striper and about a dozen bluefish on poppers and jigs.

Stripers on Poppers

Last night I snuck out with Joe and we caught a few fluke and moved onto the flats at sunset. We had bluefish and stripers swiping our plugs. We landed a fish or two and missed a couple of beauties. Tonight I snuck out with Doc and I had a plan. We ended up releasing a few nice stripers on poppers on the flats. We also had several strikes that we missed. They are here and eating in the fun way. Tomorrow is opening day of fluke season and fluke have been biting well.

Even More Trout!

Headed out tonight and immediately caught weakfish. Caught three trout fairly quickly. That is really awesome to see. The fluke bit as well. Fished all afternoon in a butterfly blizzard. I must have seen over two hundred butterflies this afternoon. At any given time, I had at least three butterflies in my field of view parading by.

More Trout

Caught another weakfish yesterday and lost a monster. Fluke bite was a little off yesterday with the cold and the cloud cover, but they still but well.
