Fluke fishing was good today on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands, but apt. Ron Santee emphasized that anglers have to work hard in deeper waters to come up with a limit. The highlight today was the new monthly pool leader as Lou Lauria boated a 5-pound, 11-ouncer.

Vinny D’Anton didn’t have any good news from the Monmouth County surf as no bass were caught. Fluke did return to the surf yesterday, but all were shorts today. There was some upwelling, but it didn’t seem to be too cold for good action.

The forecast is for southwest winds about 10 knots with showers and thunderstorms a possibility in the morning and likely in the afternoon.

The Jamaica from Brielle has added a tilefish trrp leaving at 10 p.m. July 18. Their last trip was hurt by a fast drift, but some fares still limited on golden tiles and added a few bluelines. Call 732 528-5014.
