Nantucket Fluking

[VinoGuy]

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.

Congrats on a great trip. That is one of my favorite places to fish as the quality of fish is outstanding. Not much pressure up there. I wish it was closer that 5-6 hr drive home really sucks

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.

Alex,
we always stay over and drive back the next day. Trying to drive home on a Sunday night is crazy. I95 is a parking lot.

This is my 2nd year for that trip & its now becoming an annual. I just rebook the when Im up there. I will be on Aug 2/3 and agree on the strong currents. Its definatly worth the ride to target big fluke and staying over on Sunday night is a nice way to relax and extend the trip with a nice dinner. I hate jumping off a boat and sitting in traffic for hours.

Did the squid show up at night around the boat? how did whole squid produce?

- 39 on board
- very few squid caught
