Headed out on our Jfish/east end trip trip today. Fluking was red hot to start the day! Then unfortunately the wind and the current really picked up and the drift sped up to over 2 knots and the bite slowed dramatically. Nonetheless, we had 300-400 fluke on the day, 25-30 keepers. Fish are there and with good conditions it would have been savage! Capt Paul ran the local boat and also had very good results as 6 fares had 60

We will get back to more fluking after this wind lays down. Striped Bass Special will be sailing
Had a fun day with Capt Neil and the gang on our full day Top Fluke Angler Contest/ extravaganza.

Wow what a week of weather! We didnt sail most of the week nor today. We did get out last night with 4 fares and fishing was slow. The water was very stirred up from all the wind this week. We marked a ton of porgies on the machine but just couldnt get to bite well. They are here though and now that things have finally settled down hopefully this week coming up will be much better! Saturday, May 14,
We had a nice little bite this morning on the first of the ebb. The east wind unfortunately came up and slowed messed up the drift. middle of the trip was slower and then we plucked some more to end the trip closer to home. Finished the day with 15 nice keepers. 10 year old Quinn had 13 fluke today with a nice keeper in the mix. Picking up nicely!
