Re: Fluke sucks this season
I agree with you, Chum. I've picked up a couple of keepers on nearly every trip, but it has overall been S L O W. Hit it hard last Sunday with nothing to show for it. Better days are comin', I hope.

Re: Fluke sucks this season
I could not agree more. I only fish from the surf and mostly catch shorts with an occasional keeper to be quite honest but this year has been dismal. Live killies in the surf is usually a sure thing. I switched it up to gulps on a dropper and nothing. Even the robins aren't around like they usually are.

Re: Fluke sucks this season
Water temps were way down (low 60's) just north of IBSP this w/e. Tons of speering in the wash but did not see one fluke caught or anything for that matter. No birds, no blues boiling just a flat day.
Possibly the FLUKE are moving up the rivers following the bait looking for warmer water?

Re: Fluke sucks this season
Caught a 7.2 in June. Won me free fishing for a year. Everything else was by-catch.

Re: Fluke sucks this season
Was Ocean side of the Hook yesterday in the swelter. Ripping 2.5 knot outgoing tide. 8 ounces in 30-35 feet of water.
 One keeper, a 6 inch sea robin, and a 30" sand shark and cooked doing that over 4 hours. Last year I saw no sea robins. This was my first since 2013
