    Do they think we're idiots!

    How do you "Save the Whales" folks feel about this change in rule enforcement. The old interpretation was designed to encourage ships to take extra care when whales are around. The new interpretation seems to permit even reckless behavior as long as it is not intentional: "In what would be a...

    Post your 2019-2025 Fluke Pix & Trip Reports Here!

    I fished the Miss Montauk yesterday. Pretty slow day. Difficult drifting conditions. Some anglers were skunked. A few had limits. It became a long hot day bouncing heavy sinkers in very deep water. What instantly lifted my spirits was after mate Anthony suggested I check my fish for the pool and...

    ><)))):> SIMPLE DAYS GONE BY GROWING UP,,WAS GREAT BACK THEN <:))))><

    When you are a kid, you don't want to stand out. All the other kids in Queens had these boots. After they got to elementary school, theycould take them off and walk around in sneakers. Being from an outdoorsy family, I had a pair of LL Bean duck boots. I would feel like an alien all day...

    Western Sound Fluke

    My buddy Wayne and I bounced around various spots from 20 to 50' deep in the Western Sound yesterday morning. We had about 20 total, with 4 or 5 over 18 and 1 just over 19, with some micros mixed in. No bait, just gulp. All my gulp survived to fish another day! '

    RI Blackfish

    My annual early August blackfish trip with Captain Rich Tenreiro was another success. We were supposed to fish yesterday (Monday) but with the forecast, were able to switch things to an afternoon sail on Sunday. We had lots of action and a few over 4#. My buddy Bob got this fat 8.5# fish. We...

    Shark Weak

    Fyi, my last bass trip, while livelining porgies and mackerel within 3 miles of the Block Island coast, we hooked up with 5 sharks. Another buddy bass fishing near Block Island had several bass chomped in half. If your goal is sharks, that's where I would head. My understanding is that in the...

    Is this the beginning of the gulp killer?

    that's what i meant. Even a dead stick with the sinker dragging has the gulp off the bottom.

    Is this the beginning of the gulp killer?

    Do they really think we drag our gulp on the bottom? Sure, fluke eat shrimp, but there seems to be something with the long, wavy undulating motion that attracts fluke. If your goal is durability, there's fish bites. Some like it and I keep trying it, but I've done better with gulp. Also, there...

    Chancey Charters

    How many times can you keep going back to the same well. First stop, catch porgies for bait. The fishing was so hot that could have been a trip in and of itself. Next stop, big bass. The quantity was down from last trip but I still put two 40's in the boat. A bonus was "getting/having" to fight...
