Nantucket Fluking
Got back yesterday from Hyannis after a two day Nantucket fluke trip. The trip was outstanding. Most people had at least ten keepers a day. There were 6 to 8 fish over ten pounds each day. I had my first ten pounder to the surface and he/she spit the jig while waiting for a gaff. Oh well. Better hook set may have changed the outcome. By the second day we were swinging four and five pound fish.
If you do this trip be prepared for a screaming current. I used fourteen ounces of lead more than half the time and spent an hour or so with twenty ounces. The guys I fished with scored primarily using high/low rigs with either 1/4 oz glow spros or a mylar skirt. We brought with us Peruvian smelts. They worked great. The trip includes a layover in Nantucket and a chance to shower and get dinner. The boat sails for the second day at 4 AM. We did not see another boat fishing.

Re: Nantucket Fluking
Bill - Dad and I enjoyed being with you/Jimmy/Cliff...you guys put on a clinic up in the pulpit
I took a pic of the big fish on the trip caught Day 1 - think it was 12.5 or 13. The white side up fish in the photo is a 2-3lber for comparison sake. Other photo was of a 6# - my big fish of the trip from day 2. And the third photo of me/Dad - getting to spend two days fishing with him creating memories of a lifetime = priceless. Amazing fishery when you're swinging 5 lbers over the rail!! As Capt said, you judge the quality of the trip by the size of the fish you're flipping! Lifting 14 - 20 oz of lead for 2 days straight was a hell of a work out.  See you guys on the Tagged Fish next weekend. Last edited by VinoGuy; 07-15-2014 at 05:56 PM..
