Both fluke tournaments fishing Sunday

With a northeaster blowing hard, both the Grandpa Savio Memorial at Great Kills and the Leonardo Fire Company Fluke Master contests were postponed to Sunday even though Saturday ended up being fishable. It’s going to be a real test of skill as northeast swells scour the bottom and create discolred waters. Fluking had reached a seasonal peak just before then, but getting bites may be much tougher tomorrow.

The forecast for NY/NJ Bight is for northeast winds at just 5 knots.

NYC Captain John McMurray reports large bluefin tuna are still available for casters before moving to the smaller yellowfins. One bluefin ended up with both a RonZ jig and a popper in its jaw!
