Capt lou and the captree pride
Panga, your last sentence is a very important clue. People who are unfamiliar with the area think that because they are fishing in the bay, they do not have to pay close attention to the tidal stage or moon phase. Until you understand that the current in the Peconics can run just as fast as it...- captmike28

Post your 2019-2025 Fluke Pix & Trip Reports Here!
The photo and the story are priceless, Steve! I believe many of us have the greatest experiences of all when it comes to fishing with kids. It's one of the biggest reasons I loved running the kids camp trips on the Orient Star. You will forever remain a giant in the heart of your nephew all...- captmike28

You make some very valid points, Matt. With the ever rising cost of operartion, steady decline in fish avialability of most species, age creeping up on us all, it is easy to give in to the calls of let someone else shoulder the burden. Heck, while I was recovoerng from my heart surgery this...- captmike28

Captain's Table -Solid Bottom Fishing Week
Typically, there are Porgies by the Greenlawns and the Brickyard all summer and into the early fall. The caveat here is the average sizes are much smaller than the spring run or what you will find off Gardiners or out in the Sound during the summer months. But if you work at it, you can put...- captmike28

Captain's Table -Solid Bottom Fishing Week
Sorry for the late report but last week was a blur with 4 charters and a couple of recreational trips mixed in. My charters were mainly a group of bottom fishing trips for 3 very nice families and groups of friends. Starting last Monday, I had Andy and his kids out to do some damage on the...- captmike28

Beautiful day = Beautiful Fish
Outstanding, Hunter. You are one of the few boats doing a consistently good job on Fluke during this very challenging season! Kudos to you and the crew!- captmike28

Another valiant effort on a really nice day for the ocean. BTW, did Stephen's "secret lure" look something like this? If so, I know where you can still buy a few! ;)- captmike28

Finally, the "Perfect" Tide Clock...
I also appreciate the heads up on the NOAA outage. However, I am puzzled. Chinacat and I live less than 15 miles apart on eastern LI and my tide clocks never went down. Any theories, Roccus?- captmike28

Yesterday’s fine weather pattern allowed us to make our second Montauk Fluke trip of the season with a 4-man charter consisting of David, Sean, Nick and Frank. The results did show a slow but steady improvement that has the pattern most of us have experienced the entire year. Since we had...- captmike28

No sympathy required Lep, just respect for all of your efforts. Interestingly, my Fluke season results have closely paralleled your own. Started out with a few trips with all shorts. Then on the last Monday in June finally put 2 keepers in the box and this past Friday 5 keepers out at Montauk...- captmike28

Although I do love the taste of Ling, it's time to put some Fluke in the box. Here is my update from yesterday. Had my mate Tom and good friend Mitch join me yesterday for a prospecting trip to Montauk in preparation for the upcoming charters this summer. Thankfully the weatherman smiled on us...- captmike28

Captain's Table- Comfy Day on the Water, Finally
Yesterday’s crew of Cindy and her avid anglers joined me for a ½ day Sea Bass charter under stellar weather conditions. After a smooth ride out to the Sound, we set up on anchor north of Plum and were treated to 3 hours of non-stop action. Naturally, with our restrictive 16” NY regulations we...- captmike28

Captain's Table - "Soupy Monday"
Had my friend Sal join me on my day off in an attempt to make a triple play of Stripers, Sea Bass, and Fluke. Early morning “pea soup” made the trip east into the Sound a very slow go. Had planned to stay local at the Gut so I could test some nearby Sea Bass drops but after 90 minutes with no...- captmike28
