They may be the same scientists that changed the "Global Warming" label to the current "Climate Change" label..... Climate change has nothing to do with the non-existing fluke bite. This isn't the first time fluking in June sucked....!

All I know is that they are not in the ocean right now or they might be there and just not biting or try the rivers ???

Colder water, to much rain, not enough bait, maybe wherever they are at they have a good food source so why leave, climate change , global warming or just plain being lazy. Maybe somebody just keeps scooping them up ??? It is just an opinion and we all got one just like the good Ol' balloon knot-

They aint biting , Tuna, seabass ( till Saturday ) Ling and winter flounder are doing pretty good though with a sprinkle of whiting

If you have the means and the time just get out in fish if you can

Still only June give it some time 90 degree sunny days and warmer water is fluke time

But the water temp is COLDER than normal. Hows that work again?

No bluefish 2018. Many caught in No NJ bluefish 2019?

If you reject scientific conclusions out of hand, many things become mysterious. In this case, the disappearance of fluke from our local waters.
