Today’s split charter for Montauk Fluke found fantastic weather and sea conditions with cooler temperatures and light winds.
Spent most of the day on my favorite south side drops where we have enjoyed very good success both this season and over a multi-year span. Once again, the action was extremely fast paced with over 50 Fluke boated for the 4-man crew including a couple dozen Sea Bass. The only problem was the keeper ratio was similar to last Saturday’s trip with only 20% of those fish caught meeting the legal-size range.
So, for a very strong effort on the part of all anglers aboard, our final tally in the box today was 8 keeper Fluke to 5# plus 7 keeper Sea Bass to 3.5#. Still with all the action, beautiful weather, and good friends it was a very enjoyable day to be on the ocean. Of note, Chef Nader was high hook with his 4 fish limit and the top fish of the day!
A bunch of local trips are on my schedule for the next week until next Friday 8/11 when we will take another crack at the Montauk ocean Fluke scene. I still have some open dates in August for anyone wanting to join us for one of these long-range adventures.
