Default Re: Where the heck are the Fluke?

Fluke in June has been a crap shoot as long as I have been fishing.. Some years great , other years dead.. If its this slow a month from now in mid July we can bitch.. Right now, let the water warm up a bit.. The rocky bottom from asbury to sea bright that so many guys like to fish for big fluke in july and august still has a a lot of ling and even some whiting around... Once the water warms up into the higher 60's the fluke should start showing in better numbers...
The water temp at Sandy hook was 64 as of tuesday. Things will pick up soon IF the fish show in good numbers.. they may not.. Some years the numbers just aren't there, for whatever reason.. After close to 60 years of salt water fishing, I have seen some terrible years when the fluke just weren't there.. 30-40 years ago global warming wasn't a "thing" so we didn't blame it for bad fishing .. We just said .. "man its bad fishing this year"... bob
