After two days of just a medium swell, the surf was somewhat rough for casting a light jig and Gulp to fluke, and I later found from an angler who made a few casts that it was also full of weed. Capt. Ron Santee found a big swell outside the bay, where he had done well with fluke the day before on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands.
When the conditions are good and we can fish the channel its a very good amount of keepers with lots of shorts mixed in. When we cant hit the channel we are finding plenty of short action with a odd keeper mixed in.
Atlantic Highlands fluke fishing July 8 08 July 2016 Capt. Tom Made both morning and afternoon trips again today. We are fluke fishing everyday making two trips (8am to 12 30 and 1 30 to 6pm).
07 08 2016 Capt Paul ran another Open Boat Fluke trip today. Spots are still available for the Open Boat Fluke trips scheduled for July 15th, 17th 18th.
The first couple of stops we had some nice keepers, Mid morning the drift slowed, We decided to go rock hopping, we had action from keeper fluke and sea bass, around noon time the drift picked up, we had a nice breeze, the action picked up again we had keeper and short fluke all around the boat. Overall it was a decent day with keeper fluke and sea bass in the coolers.
