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...- hartattack

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...- hartattack

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...- hartattack

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...- hartattack

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...- hartattack

For ocean fluking in NJ, a West wind is best. Today was our best day of the season as a light West wind with outgoing water pushed us from the wash out to 45 feet deep. They were chewing good today, even the shorties hit with attitude. It was easy to repeat our drifts at the most productive...- hartattack

Fine Friday Foggy Fluking &Thumbs-up on Gulp! "Baitfish" Hit the Ocean early this morning with Jakesdad and crew. We got about half a mile offshore and the fog hit us suddenly, forcing us to turn around and fish the river for a while. The action was constant and we never did go back outside...- hartattack

fluking looking for size
Title of this thread made me think of current slot fluke regs here in NJ. With a bag limit of 1 > 18" and 2 between 17 & 18", many times we are throwing back overs looking for the smaller slots. ... smh..... and now we'll be doing the same with Stripers looking for 28-31" fish,,,, smh...- hartattack

Enjoyed it, thanks George. I liked that you criticized the Md. Trophy exemption and pointed out that Chesapeake stock is hurting. I would like to learn what other measures ASMFC and others are taking, specifically banning Bunker reduction . Recs take it on the chin again for others'...- hartattack
