Sun 8-14:  No trip - cancelled due to weather!

Fri 8-12:  FTYP trip today with Flukemaster (formerly limestone) Larry, Fred M, Dom,Cool hand Al, Tommy and Todd. After some coaxing of the captain to change plans and fish where we got em a couple of weeks back by Larry and Fred, we headed to the rough stuff NE of our inlet and set up on last weeks numbers. Immediately, we had shorts and keepers flying + some nice seabass. We repeated this same line for the next several drifts getting between 1-5 keepers per drift. The action was never on fire, but it was a nice steady pick.

Once we lost the conditions we moved to some real sticky stuff to our north and continued, albeit at a slower pace but with nicer fish coming up. After losing a load of bucktails, we bounced around picking here and there.

A last ditch effort to land a slob was made at the end of the day working the edges of a couple wrecks, but we only pulled some shorts and another couple of keepers up.

By day's end the guys easily boated 100 fluke, boxing 35 keepers + a dozen seabass and 1 ling. Big fish went to Tommy @ 6.2#, and fred led the way with 10 keepers followed closely by larry who had 9. The other guys all boated their share for the box as well. Out of those 35, only 2 were just over 18", the rest were in that 19-22" bracket with roughly 8-10 fish in the 3-5# range. A terrific day, great weather, great crew, and an awesome day of bucktailing fluke!!!

Thurs 8-11:  Quick report today... Had Mike D charter the boat today with Tracy, Brett, Mike, and Nick for a half-day fluke trip. Most of the crew has never fished in the salt before so this was a first for almost everyone.

Started out on a lump just N of our inlet and had a slow pick of short fluke with an occasional keeper coming up + 1 nice seabass. The wind and current together had us moving an honest 1.5 kts and 10 oz. was skipping but the crew got past that learning curve and started catching.

We then made a move S to fish a few lumps inside the AC and down a bit further and caught fish everywhere we stopped, however the majority were short fish with the occasional keeper again coming up as well as another couple of nice seabass.

At trip's end the crew boated ~40 fluke as well as 3 nice seabass with 6 going in the box. All the keepers were those 18.25"-19" "cookie cutters" - nothing big today!
