Fluke don’t care about rain

As noted last night, fluke don’t care about rain — and neither should fluke fishermen now that the fishing is as good as it gets just before the season closes/

The Prowler 5 from Atlantic Highlands sailed today with just eight anglers aboard since Capt. Scott Hilliard didn’t want them to miss out on the bite even if it cost him money to make the trip. Everyone limited and released many more fluke. It was the same thing yesterday when Max Zazzarino (12) took the pool with an 8.66-pound fluke.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar was out on a tuna trip today which produced limits of dolphin plus hot catch and release angling. They were into hot bluefishing the day before, and will be back at that sport in the morning.

A small craft advisory is up through Tuesday afternoon. Showers are likely tomorrow.
