by It’s been a long time coming, but bigger fluke are starting to dominate catches in NY/NJ Bight. Capt. Ron Santee reported a new leader in the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands monthly pool yesterday as a 6 11/16-pound fluke was boated by Herb Miller. See photo below.
Tony Trigg came over to N.J. with a friend to boat the first doormat I’ve heard of so far to win the recent Sandy Hook Bay Anglers Tournament with an 11-pounder that was then released to provide other anglers a shot at such a thrill.
Fluking was tougher today for a charter on the Fishermen as the wind came up early and shut down the bite.
The Golden Eagle from Belmar hasn’t found bluefish lately, but their anglers are catching some keeper fluke along with the one jumbo sea bass now allowed in N.J.
Capt. Ralph Leyrer is back into triggerfish with his Last Lady from Belmar along with boat limits of sea bass.
: The forecast is for south winds at just 5-10 knots.
