    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.

    Council has approved 145 day season, 5/4 thru 9/25, 3 fluke at 18" or >. This meets fed 28% reduction mandate. Great to see so many people made comments (in person and over Webinar), the council mentioned this was the most comments they ever received and appreciated the public input...

    Fluke. Seabass, Porgy Regs 2024

    2023 NJ fluke regs are 2 @ 17<18", 1 @18 or >. Many options now being kicked around for 2024 but it looks like our slot is not currently in favor by anglers or regulators. Here are the 2 current well received NJ options: Option 23) 5/24-9/4 (3) fish at 17 1/2” Option 30) 5/5- 9/23 (3) fish at 18”

    Stripers,,, still chewin'

    Hopped on The Gambler party boat out of Pt. Pleasant NJ. The bunkers have left our waters and the XL Stripers are now scarce. However sandeels are abundant and smaller Stripers are now jumping on the jigs. Since NJ does not have a commercial Striper fishery we've been fortunate to retain our...

    Had to give it one last try after the blow. Just a few flatties for us yesterday b4 we turned to other species. Blackfish is open in NJ for a ONE fish limit so we made quick work of those. They were voracious, at times hitting my crab on a jig b4 it hit bottom. Got 2 nice triggers on the...

    An Agent 86 kind of morning

    Do u know if Maine allows u to 'pinch an inch'? Some Atlantic states (not just NJ) allow this: Pinch the tail together and measure from the closed mouth to the end of the pinched tail. Make sure the tail is stretched out as far as possible when you pinch it together, see the image for...

    Finally made it to out the NJ/NY Deep for some Sept fluking. I was hoping to go on my buddy's Parker but he blew his Flywheel and he's now out-of-the-water. I hopped on a popular Atlantic Highland headboat and we fished Mud Buoy, 90' deep in most places. There were several NY and NJ headboats...

    Pre-Hurricane Fluking It seems that the fluke know it's coming and they've already gathered in their off-shore staging areas. I had 2 buddies on this NJ trip from yesterday, the Captain's write-up is below. I'm still catching them inshore but hope to get out to the deep this week, favorable...

    Henry's Honeybee Hits another HomeRun West is best and Jakesdad and crew did it again, 3 man limit this morning in perfect conditions. The drift was due west and easily repeatable. Our overs were all thick 21" triplets, the slots were harder to find among literally 100s of 16" fish. We left...

    Steppingstones Park

    I grew up there in the 60s and early 70s (Kings Point)! When flounder were abundant that place shined. We'd dig sandworms under the rocks there with a pitchfork and crush up mussels for chum. You'd catch 10 Bergals to every flounder but, hey, it was action. But our favorite fish to target...
