FIRST MASSACHUSETTS FLUKE MASSACRE

After Anthony received a sick report a few weeks back about the fluke bite off Nantucket, we had to see it for our selves. Anthony had a customer come in, completely worn out, that had just got back from 2day Helen H trip.
Tales of fluke to #15 were enough to drive us near insanity.
Scott booked captain Jimmy the Greek of "On Time Charters" and Scott, Eddie, Anthony and I made the long trek up to the cape.

The drive up had everyone wired, excited to say the least. Even McDonald's serves lobster up there fyi
we made it to the south Yarmouth boat ramp with a few hours to crash before shoving off.
We made a stop just off Nantucket to get some bluefish for bait and also managed a nice striper as well. The fish were stacked and there was not a boat in sight, in fact, we didn't see another fishing boat the whole entire day besides the Helen H. That completely blew our minds , talk about an UNTOUCHED fishery.

The fluke were spread out but when we found them we were bailing beautiful 3-5lb fish.
Although we didn't connect with our monster, the day was still a complete success.
we caught over 50 keepers only keeping our boat limit.
We were priveledge to see an unspoiled fluke fishery.
We fished all day in troughs with the same Bucktail. .

Jimmy worked hard all day, and im not sure how he felt about some of the HARDCORE ball busting going on.

But while he fished fresh bait thoughout the day, we mostly bucktailed . And really did a number on the fluke. when Jimmy would find a pod of fish we did quick work filling the box.

Not sure how Scott made it drving the whole way there and back, especialy the way back that took over 2X getting home due to road closures and traffic.

Was a good time fishing with our tourney team up there prepping for the new season.


Best part is I got to fish for free, as Tracey paid my fare , as a birthday present.
