FLUKE season ?????????
 

So curious how guys did having the extra 3 week longer season to fish this year DURING that 3 weeks ???


add any fish to the freezer, get out enough to enjoy it ??

I know I personally didn't , nor did I expect to.

Would have rather had that extra fish added to the time we actually could have caught them .

Hoping next year guys have it logged how they actually did.

My best catches for keepers were in the Manasquan River after Labor Day including many 2 person limits. That extra time saved my season actually. I had one of my worst seasons in terms of keepers this year.

No keepers for Tom and I in September. Pete

If I had tried for fluke in Sept., it would have been from a partyboat from AH. Reports were not very good, so: 1st week in Sept, I went on a NS boat for cocktail bluefish, catching 20. 2nd week in Sept., we went for our annual trip to Maine. Heard that it was windy and rainy for most of that week in NJ -- Maine weather was nice. 3rd week in Sept., hit the beach on the bayshore for cocktail blues and 2 bass. See my reports under Surf Reports.

I had a fluke limit throughout the entire month of August. Once September hit I got my first goose egg. Not even a short.

Did great in the manasquan river in September, both shorts and keepers. August was an incredible month on the ocean however, most of the fish I was getting were 3-6lbs, freezer is loaded.

Fluking the entire season was slow for the most part out of Barnegat Inlet.. However, we caught some really nice fluke in September up to 9 lbs. My friends and I are really happy the season was extended. September would have been better if the weather would have cooperated. At least now though we only have to wait 2 weeks for sea bass to open unlike last year when we had to wait over 6 weeks. Paul Haertel
