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

    AFTERNOON DELIGHT: got out briefly today with my usual crew but based on conditions we fished the afternoon not the morning. Good call, we had 7 Ks up to 6 lbs. , I'm hopeful that the ocean bite this year resembles what we've caught in the river (fingers crossed)
