Today was the start of the long-awaited NJ fluke season and we were pleased with the fishing that we found. There were fewer boats on the grounds today than expected which was nice. We fished a couple of different areas on the day and found a good ratio of keepers to shorts. Dave Brink, Middletown, NJ, had a good opening day and ended up with four nice keepers. Mike Scher, Cranford, NJ, had three keepers. A number of guys went home with at least a couple of fish. Jim Florio, Newark, NJ, had a couple of keepers and took the pool with a 4 pound fish.
