Gran Pa Savino Fluke tourney

Headed out with Scott, John And Anthony to fish the GPS fluke tourney.
Left at O dark thirty in flat seas quickly making it to the grounds .
Made a bunch of moves through the morning  till finding a good pod of fish.
Being a NY tourney all keepers had to be 19" or better.
which was no problem as the fish we found were all 20" to 24" . if we were not throwing fish back would have been an easy limit before 9 AM.
Through mid day as the bite died off we still didnt have the 3 fish we were looking for .
seemed everything was  3-4 pounds .
made another move and Scott connected with a 7.3. decided with fishing for many being tough we had to make the run in. SInce we had a few more decent bites on that drift we redid it, with Anthony catching another close to 5 #.
figured we had to leave em biting and run. Thinking  the run would take close to an hour
with still decent seas, we ended up making it to GK in under a half hour.
Our fish were good for 2nd place, and a decent calcutta.
Missing the big money calcutta by just 2 OZ.

still a great day on the water., another boat limit  and alot of laughs
made the long run back from Great Kills to Shark river at 40 Knots, just beating the crazy Thunder storms that pushed in .
