Lack of Fluke Reports
 

Hi guys,

I don't post often and usually prefer reading posts and learning from many of the regulars here. Have not had a chance to come out this year and wanted to go fishing this weekend, but am alarmed at the lack of fishing reports, especially those for fluking.

I know the past two years have been abysmal (I know, I've been out there :( ). In the past, I've seen posts and then multiple replies. Did the fishing get even worse this year (didn't think it was possible after last year's experience). Would love some feedback as I'd love to take my dad, but am nervous to spend hard earned money on tolls and gas only to come home empty handed.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has anything to share (ex. too many shorts, no fish, the water's too cold so they're further out, etc).

Its pretty tough this year but the late July, early August run has started I think so head to Atlantic Highlands and get on a 3/4 day boat because the fish are a good ride right now.

Yes, it was a terrible year, and it was marginally worse then 2013 was. However it's really starting to pick up both in the Ocean and in the Bay, better late then never. I think at this very moment you'd be better off with a Highlands boat, but you can't go wrong with either right now. Ocean is catching big fluke, Highlands are getting more keeper sized. Your call. You might get a shitty day, you might get a great day, that's just how it is. But you have a good shot right now for a real good day.

Things have turned around in the last week and a half. All the usual haunts are loaded with fish right now. Just because a head boat drives past a 'usual' spot, dont be afraid to give it a try, the fish are there.

I fished the Capt. Cal II out of Belmar yesterday and it was non- stop action. Plenty of keepers and some shorts. The Capt., Crew, and boat are highly recommended by me. They kicked ass and I'm not easily impressed, trust me on that! :):):)

A million thanks to everyone who responded. It is GREATLY appreciated!

Encouraged to read positive feedback. I will be sure to post a report as always.
