NJ Saltwater Fishing Reports

Al had the Monday trip and wanted to bucktail for fluke. (right up my alley)  The guys had by days end, 25 keepers to 5lbs in the fluke hotel. What a way to start out my fluke season!!   (you reading this Vin?) Tuesday was back to bass fishing, as the Mike Pilot got into fish to 40lbs in the morning in steamy hot conditions. The PM trip with Mike Cybulski was one of most uneventful trip we have ever had. Couple of small blues and nothing else. Terry Talcott on Wednesday morning finally got his live bunker bass (40lbs) after a 2 hour excursion looking for bait. That paid off his he was able to fight bass after bass releasing almost all of his fish. Thursday morning had Andrew treating his father to a combination trip and after putting 4 nice fluke in the box wanted to try for some bass. It did not take too long to box up with bass up to 38lbs before playing catch and release.  Friday the “A” team was missing their leader and after electing to try for fluke, (the bass bite moved far to the east), found out that bucktailing is hard work. We are on the fish, however they are not jumping in the boat. Enough white meat for everyone, but pretty uneventful. Saturday I had my “A” team out and by days end had a 6 man limit of fluke to 6lbs, with a dozen of fish over 4lbs. Fluking could hardly be better, and plenty of laughs to spare. Of course the beer will taste good tonight, being Skinny water Al and Sal Bananas could not carry our tackle boxes. Zempe and Jr tried in vain to stay with Dean and I, but they too will have to reach in their pockets and Quench my thirst!!!!   (VIN, you reading this?)  However we do not have anything for the scale, tomorrow is another day……
