Dave Lilly provides tips for fluke limits

Fluke pro Dave Lilly has had no problem coming up with fluke limits for his crew this season in NY/NJ Bight at the same most boaters are catching lots of shorts but few keepers. Dave emphasizes that long drifts aren’t working. Whenever you catch a keeper, work that spot from every angle instead of continuing the drift.

Lilly has also found that rigging a Tsunami Glass Minnow tipped with Gulp well above the sinker or jig has been the best producer.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar reported very fast action close to shore with short fluke plus some keepers and a few sea bass and ling.

The forecast is for south winds at 10-15 knots.

The annual July 4 World Cup Blue Marlin Tournament will be fished around much of the world tomorrow. The basic entry costs $5,000, and the minimum size is 500 pounds.
