Fluke turn on in back of Raritan Bay

Dave Lilly has been waiting for fluke to move into the back of Raritan Bay as they usually do at this time of year — and that fluke pro was finally rewarded today with a limit catch for his crew.

Lilly’s best action was on a mussel bed in 16 feet, and there were few shorts. Both jigs and bait worked.

Capt. Ron Santee Jr. was enveloped in fog today, which made the search for hungry sea bass with his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands more difficult. Fortunately, he anchored on a good rocky bottom with a lot of ling and some sea bass as everyone went home with dinner. There were also some stray fluke and tautog hooked.

A dense fog advisory is up to 10 a.m. Monday. Then a southeast wind at 10-15 knots comes up before increasing to 15-20 in the afternoon.
