by Fluke pro Dave Lilly’s team got off to a great start yesterday in the Sandy Hook Bay Anglers Fluke Tournament aboard Brian Farmer’s boat as Chris Gioffre boated an 8-pounder that took the $200 for first on Saturday, but the team got edged out of first today when an 8.8-pound fluke was boated. I don’t have any official reports as yet, but anglers who scored today certainly deserved their catches as Lilly said conditions were terrible in wind and rain that even kept fluke party boats in port.
The weather looks a lot better tomorrow with northwest winds at 5-10 knots before going southwest in the afternoon.
