06/30/2012 - Fluke Fishing on OOAL


Well, we're back on the good ol' Out on a Limb Worldcat Edition out of Keyport, NJ for another fun day of bucktailing the rough stuff in search of some big flatties!
I arrived at the boat right at daybreak to meet up with Steve (aka Socks), Mike (aka Captain Panic), John (aka Lobo)...along with two newcomers to the fluke game: Fred and Chris!

Let's walk through a few pics on the day and enjoy the fun!


The start of a beautiful morning!



Socks arrives...ripe with anticipation!


In case you're wondering why in the world we call him Socks...well, this picture tells the tale!  Hence the long standing nickname of Captain Looks Like He's Wearing Socks!!! haha



Lobo, lookin serious!



A little scenery on the way out of the marina...





Mike, taking it all in...enjoying some fresh grapes..."Hey I have 2 keepers...want some grapes?"



Socks, remarking on how GOOD the coffee was...good enough to take paint off the deck!



Fred and Chris getting rigs ready!



Lobo still isn't smiling...VERY serious...AND he has a pair of scissors in his hands!



Riding across the bay...little bit of New York in the distance...



We arrived at the first spot and had a slow pick, so we moved off to another area.
Some familiar faces were around though...and not sure what is going on here...LOT of finger pointing going on! haha



A little later in the morning...I spy this suspicious activity!  Texting GPS coordinates?!?!?  Socks, say it aint so!!!



JR...captain, arborist, possible refugee...a true multitasker...able to hook fluke and eat a sandwich WITHOUT HANDS! haha



Final fish pic from the day...another 50+ keepers, keeping our limit of 35 and releasing the rest.  Some nice fish in the mix, including a few in the 7-8lb range.



Here's two nice ones from the trip!



Fluking is pretty good right now with two back to back Saturdays with 50+ keepers...last Saturday on OOAL4 Yellowfin Edition and this Saturday on OOAL World Cat Edition!
The best time of year (IMO) is here...and I have some more fluke trips on the horizon!  Can't wait!  Is it Friday yet? :)

Until next time...
