    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    Some of what he says makes sense to me, and some of it does not. Here’s one that doesn't makes too much sense to me……… “now that the commercial NC Fluke draggers go all the way to Massachusetts” Why do they travel to Massachusetts from North Carolina? Could the lack of fish in NC possibly be...

    One Nor'easter behind us… another one blowing in this week 🌊
