    Friday fluke fail

    I thought the North wind would help, nope. We drifted way too fast in a very choppy sea. I was outvoted by the senior crew members so we returned to the river and caught all shorts all morning. No keepers but a pleasure to get out again..

    Foggy Fluking

    Thick fog prevented us from fishing the ocean this morning. We stayed in Shark River NJ , constant action on short fluke for 3 hrs. We did get 3 keepers up to my 22"er that put a smile on my face and a bend in my previously unused river rod, fun skinny water trip

    NJ Sea Bass

    Since NY Seabassing doesn't start until 6/23 my brother from LI hopped on the train and joined me for a phenomenal fill-the-freezer NJ trip . You are each allowed 10 seabass over 12.5" but we made 14" our minimum size and filled the box in no time. We fished Axel Carlson reef area. Also...

    NY fish regulations

    The Fluke regs that Pequa previously posted were approved by NY yesterday. The split-season is a head-scratcher to me, and just like last year's NJ slot (now defunct) will be difficult to enforce. And these regs remain in place for 2025 (MAFMC: Measures will be restricted to achieve the...

    NJ Fluke Regs Set for 2024 and 2025

    The option that came in 2nd place at last night's council meeting included a 1" smaller size for shore/pier/jetty caught keepers. This option would've been popular if it included a longer season.
