Ran to the boat after work. Started in the back of the bay close to the lighthouse. Drifted the channel edge. Gulp and bucktails for fluke. Caught 1 short before a friend called me and offered live peanuts. Ran to meet him and we fished together. First three fish with the peanuts were sand...

I went with 4 friends to Rockaway Reef in hopes of finding a mixed bag of porgies, sea bass and fluke. Lines in at 6:30 a.m. While we caught sea bass, fluke, blackfish, sea robins, sand sharks, spiny dogfish and skates we only managed 1 keeper fluke about 20 inches. No porgies. Not even a...

I am going to try for stripers on a friend's boat. Launching late coming home early for Easter dinner but it will be nice to try to bend a rod the first time this season. We planned to start trolling but with all the reports of bass on spoons we will be ready to try that also. I will let you...
