05/25/2008 - Fluke and Seabass on the Raritan Bay

05/25/2008 - Fluke and Seabass on the Raritan Bay


Short report...

Charlie and I headed out for some fluke, but struggled to find a good bite.

We found some fluke, but no keeps...quite a few in the 17-17.99" range...so we opted to hit some structure and try for some seabass along with the fluke.

We managed to pick a few off some pieces, including a nice 4lb 1oz seabass I landed on a double header. I also managed an 18" liner fluke at the same spot.

We moved around after the bite died, but only managed some more shorts...before moving back in to warmer and muddier waters...where we managed a few more 17.5-17.99" fish...all going back to the drink!

Tough day, and nasty/dirty water out there...but beautiful and calm! [up]


Here's a few pics from the day...

Later in the day...nice seabass I caught...



And another one I landed a little while later...



Then I came up with this sweet double header with the 4lb 1oz seabass



Another shot...



And on the deck...



Charlie in on the action!



But just a shortie...




No after pics...that's all I have!
Tough day fishing, but great to be out flukin again!
Will take us some time to get in the groove, but we'll find em! ;)

Until next time...
