    Easy Cast Net Throwing Technique and How we Make the Most Out of Them Fresh Baits!!!

    Thanks. It's definitely easier to do on land, as opposed to throwing it on the water. A few things that I've definitely learned when you are at the real game, not practice, are: 1. Make sure the net is in order, hanging, and the lead is not tangled before you throw it. If those things are out...

    Easy Cast Net Throwing Technique and How we Make the Most Out of Them Fresh Baits!!!

    Hey Guys! My good friend Lep and I were chatting earlier this week. He and I, along with a bunch of our friends, recently went out for dinner. As you can probably guess, we talked a lot about fishing, and shared our stories from last season, along with seasons past. Striped bass is definitely...

    That looks awesome Pete! My buddy Darryll and I were a 2 man crew on Thanksgiving morning. We fished inshore on the west end and had our limit by 10AM with fish to 5 pounds. White legger glow jigs did most of the damage. Great day on the water and home in time to carve the Turkey!

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

    Hello everyone; been a while. Got out today for the first official Fluke trip of 2021. Water was a crisp 53-54 degrees. Heard some chatter of a few fish around Norton's Point and Coney Island. Weather was beautiful and water was super clean. Overall action was slow with a few flurries here and...

    "Must Bring Along" Fluke Outfits - My Current Thinking, But Where Are YOU At?

    Back to the tackle... I really got comfortable tog fishing this year with my Ecooda - Black Expert 300 this past fall. Although the rod is an absolute dream, don't think it will be a good fluke setup. I have my Shimano Stradic 2000 ready to go. Need to pair with the right rod... More to come.

    "Must Bring Along" Fluke Outfits - My Current Thinking, But Where Are YOU At?

    Good discussion guys! First, I'll start with my tackle. Despite a number of flashy custom setups in my fluke arsenal, I have really found myself loving my 6'3" Diawa Proteus rods. Something about the split grip, extremely light weight, fast enough action with enough softness in the tip action...

    Looked at the forecast yesterday, and between the projected diminishing winds and good outbound water, Eddie and I decided to give bass a shot. Bait has been super tough, and last night was no different. After searching every canal and usual haunt, got a call from a friend who was out who...

    Looking sharp Cap! Eddie and I got out around 5:30PM last night to do a little afternoon Fluke fishing, I had to work so late afternoon was only option. We hit the same drops and 15 minutes in, Eddie lands a nice 21 inch fish on a Pink 5" Gulp Mullet. After that, conditions continued to...

    Hello everyone, I hope you all are healthy and doing well! Been a while, but the Theresa V splashed on Sunday, a month late this year for obvious reasons. My good friend Eddie (Savvy18)helped with getting her ready for battle after I brought her around, thanks bud! I must say, it is good to be...

    Between Fluke and Tog, what to do? Sail with Capt. Mike out of Greenport, of course!

    I am impressed. A good fish sandwich is still one of my favorite things to eat!

    Between Fluke and Tog, what to do? Sail with Capt. Mike out of Greenport, of course!

    With such a tasty fish, i find that simpler is always better. Mango and citrus (lemon, lime, EVOO and a pinch of salt), along with some chopped cilantro and a pinch of Cayenne give the mild and flaky Sea Bass just the right amount to make it pop and add a little heat. The chopped red pepper also...

    Thanks again Mike; what a great trip from start to finish! I don't get the opportunity to fish out east too often; but I was lucky to get out this past Saturday on such a beautiful day, with such a great Captain! Mike knows his drops like the back of his hand and was able to hone in on the...

    Hi everyone! As you all know, this season has been a grind. We have had many trips of bringing home few, and also no keepers. Having said that, you always want to pull a positive out of a negative. This year has required me to work harder to catch fluke than any other year. I have expanded my...

    Thanks again Pete for a great trip! This was a great example of a captain who faced unfavorable odds and did what it took to adapt to the conditions. Too many days we look at undesirable winds, tide and other variables for reasons not to fish or catch fish. Using heavier bucktails to achieve...
