Re: Your Take On The 2017 Fluke Season
The last 3 weeks of the season where good with one trip being outstanding. This was all out in the ocean. SHB fishing was mostly a waste of time except for 2 trips. I would give the season a D+ just because i have seen worst but that was a long time ago! It's a shame the season ended so early cause the peanut bunker bite will start soon in the bay. There is always next year! Tight lines!

Re: Your Take On The 2017 Fluke Season
Its a crime this season shut down so early - still tons of keepers in the river and shallows. My friend had some time to kill and fished live peanuts off a dock in the Shrewsbury and got an 8 lb fluke yesterday. Its been like that all season

Re: Your Take On The 2017 Fluke Season
was only able to get out once for fluking this summer but it was the best trip of my life and i got my PB fluke at 28". went out not knowing what to expect (and pretty discouraged after all the bad reports) but we slammed 'em that day. just happy to get out on the water on a gorgeous day and those flatties we got were the icing on the cake. and i think i read somewhere the draggers are back out for september? they shut down thousands of us rec guys at prime time and let those huge nets suck everything up??? totally BOGUS...

Re: Your Take On The 2017 Fluke Season
I mainly fished the 4-5 hour magic hour trips on the Misty Morn. I averaged 2 keepers per trip, limited twice, caught over my limit (ORL) once and was only skunked once (although did catch shorts). Nothing big (biggest was a shade over 22"). Really never had what I'd call a good Spro/GULP bite. Early in the year spearing was the ticket then live snappers followed by live peanuts. The live baits really turned on the fluke.
Made one ocean fluke trip on the Reel Class and got my limit and one trip on the Sea Hunter where I caught a few shorts. Last edited by Skolmann; 09-06-2017 at 06:34 PM..

Re: Your Take On The 2017 Fluke Season
My season sounds much like many of yours... bite in the bay was tough on bucktails but better on livies while the bucktail bite out front was better overall.

Re: Your Take On The 2017 Fluke Season
In Cape May County the back bays were loaded with nice Fluke well before the opener. Limited out on opening day in 90 minutes. By late June the fishing was better at the reefs than inside. July was pretty dull, we had a lot of upwelling. August was great for a lot of guys on all the south jersey reefs and various structures. I caught more than last year, making about the same number of trips. I fish an 18' CC out of Corson's Inlet.
