Post your 2019-2025 Fluke Pix & Trip Reports Here!
Fished today - Monday Lost my crew for today - broken car and sore back, so sailed solo. Decided to stay inshore for a change, hitting a couple of local reefs. Great drifts right over big piles, and tons of fish - resulting in a good news/bad news situation. Finally got a limit, YEAH! But it...- Leprechaun

One of my buddies had decent fish yesterday to the West and another had some keeps on a local reef, so maybe the Moon did bring in a shot of better fish, as some believe. We shall see. . .- Leprechaun

No keepers but nice days
My last trip of the 2025 season had a couple of my better fish of the year, so maybe. Its been so very tough to find keepers up 'til now - almost a lost cause. Almost.- Leprechaun

No keepers but nice days
I've been thinking about the lack of boxable fish in my area for a while now. If the above were the case, how can we explain the fact that prior to this year the fluke fishing near the Block Island Windmill Farm has been solid for several seasons? And now no one is even fishing there anymore...- Leprechaun

I have so many friends with boats that have given me standing open invites that it’s becoming a viable option. Don’t wanna do it, but at 70 years old now the boat is becoming a burden, both physically and financially. Oh, and recently, mentally as well. Just heard from a friend that he has a...- Leprechaun

Thanks! It takes a ton of on-going effort to keep a 39+ year old production boat looking and running fresh. Hence my earlier comments. Did you happen to notice the look of disappointment/disgust on my face? Because I'm sure it was there. :rolleyes:- Leprechaun

I'm starting to think the formerly unthinkable, regarding next season. Why fork out what it costs in time, effort, and money (of course!) for these crummy results? Make it make sense.- Leprechaun

Just to add on - fished solo yesterday. Hit George's favorite inshore reef (see his avatar), which is absolutely infested with shorts. Drop and stick fishing. After an hour of this I headed deep - for more shorts, albeit much healthier ones. Actual final count for the day ( I kept track) 49 fish...- Leprechaun

What's your opinion on the ICAST winner?
I have already seen numerous on-line ICAST reviews of this reel (because being a reel nerd, that's what I do at 05:00 during breakfast - and during work breaks as well), and I did look at the article. Nowhere to be found is exactly what those supposed "Power Digigear and Pinion" are made of...- Leprechaun

What's your opinion on the ICAST winner?
Are you asking me? Well, Okay, here goes - if they are still using those zinc/pot metal gears in the BG series, then as Randy Jackson used to say on American Idol, "It's a hard pass for me, dog." Next time you're in there, Ask John @Trophy Tackle about the longevity of those gears. That...- Leprechaun

Had George and Capt. Mike aboard for an offshore trip yesterday. A fairly significant 3'-4' roll with a light East breeze made figuring out my drift lines a bit tough at first. Anyway, we caught plenty of shorts, including a pair of 18.5" on the last drift, but only found a single fish for the...- Leprechaun

Any opinions on this X-Braid winning best of show at ICAST
Be careful, X-Braid is made by YGK/Japan - I believe. The Daiwa line you linked to I tried and hated. Very low abrasion resistance. The regular J-Braid I still use.- Leprechaun

Only one for me in my entire life. 11.2lbs in 2006 - hit a tandem-rigged squid over one of my old-time open bottom drops. What a beauty she was too . . . Jeez, I look 20 years younger. Oh wait . . . :rolleyes:- Leprechaun
