Nantucket Fluking

[Kelli84]

This was some trip....great weather, fishing and friends....it is not often when all three come together.

Like Ytuna and VinoGuy said, ths fishing was great both days. When we threw back 7.0 and 8.0lb Fluke, the mates and some angelers looked at us like were were crazy. The fishing was so good and we had our limit, why not let some of the big girls bite another day.

Day 1, a few of us dragged bait in the hopes of a really big fish, and while not the pool winner, a 10.8lb fluke came up. A Chubby guy. Also, Ron Sr., who's personal best was 7.0lbs, had a 10.0 and 11.8lb fish. Ron Jr. had a 9.0lb on the same drift. All quality fish.

Ytuna's big fish, I can still see him laying on the surface, was more like 11.0lbs...once it spit the hook, it gave him the "fin" layed there a while and then took off. True to his lack of emotion, Ytuna just puffed and rebaited for the next drift.

Day 2 I switched to a high low rig...used while 1oz spro's and just a picece of squid....bouned it 4 or 5 times and the fish jumped on it....evne smaller fish, 3 and 4.0lbs hit hard and put up a good fight.

If you go on the 8/2 and 3 trip, the Super Moon will have passed but the current can rip up there....I used 14oz both days.

Our other buddy, Flukeslayer, had a 9.5lb fluke on day two....a real beauty and put up a great fight.

I think we saw 3 boats in 2 days of fishing....they love their Cod and Rock fish up there....for me, it is worth the drive to be able to catch quality fish and target fish that have some real size.
