Second day for Nantucket Fluking was a wet one but a good one. Limits for most and again more Sea Bass than I've ever seen on the shoals. My buddy got the big one today, 9 lbs. This year the bigggies showed in August, June was not as good as in past. If you're going up there you've gotta try...
Nantucket report, 8/10... good quality but quantity was lacking. Pool fish went 7.6 lbs and most Fluke were 23 or so inches, no shorts on boat. Several seabass up to my 23"er. Tomorrow's cod/Haddock trip is now Fluke day #2 because the Haddock have not shown up yet on Georges Bank. Check out...
Who knows? When a Fluke throws your hook, is it due to a short bite or wrong leverage on their head shakes? The swing hook should be able cushion those head shakes, especially on those biguns....
I've been successfully using it as my teaser for several weeks now. Works well with Lep's B/S rig using sinker on bottom, rather than the jig. This way the snags over the ruff stuff are minimized. Bringing some with me next week to NanFlukeit, Massachusetts.
No Conger Eels? Hate bringing those up from the deep. We've been getting many out of season Tog at The Farms now. You always get em there on clams but last week we caught Tog on the jig! I agree about Sandy Hook Reef, the nursery...
Water in Reach still cold. Try by bug light or up Shrewsbury River if u can. Pilings by Oceanic Bridge producing. Spearing on naked jighead, teaser above optional. BTW - This is not spot burning, this is NJ...
NJ update: Fluke season opened on Monday but rain/muddy water prevented us from our usual opening day tradition. I've been Fluking from shore and doing well since mid-April (catch n release). NJ Fluke regs for 2022 are 2 between 17 and 18" and ONE over 18". Three of us fished Shark River...

At their March 2022 meeting, the ASMFC approved the State of New Jersey’s conservation equivalency proposal methodology for the 2022 black sea bass season. Under this proposal, New Jersey is required to reduce harvest by 20.7 percent as required...
FRom NY DEC:
Located just east of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the 8.5-acre Kissena Lake offers tranquility within the borough of Queens. One of New York City's natural waterbodies, Kissena Lake has been through several man-made transformations, the latest of which was completed in 2003 to...
If you follow that Creek towards Shea Stadium it runs into Fountain of the Planets, then the Par3 golfcourse, then into Flushing River. We would fish the Fountain and people would be amazed at the carp we caught there.... ahh, fond memories...

NJ has voted on and approved option 2:
May 2 - Sep 27 .... 2 slots between 17 and 17.99 and 1 over 18
Opinion: 2 fish to fit inside a 1" slot coupled with inevitable high grading for that single over 18 - could be recipe for trouble.... although the party boats will enjoy it...
