Fluke??? if i wanted fluke i would go on a fluke boat. turns out they haven't gotten a blue in weeks. Are you kidding me? I mean these are bluefish we are talking about, not exactly the most elusive species in our waters. What is going on, is it just a weird year or should i even dare to think that the worst happened and all our years of killing them by the boatload daily, finally caught up with us?
Pretty much all of the blue fish boats out of PP or Belmar have been posting they are either fluking or ling/cbass fishing after they can't find blues/bass. Reports have been all over home pages, internet, and this website! Should have been no surprise that the boat wasn't looking for them. Def not the boats fault at all...or the anglers who have been fishing and keeping them.
