Headed out with Scott for a few hours of fluke fishing last night. Headed out to a hard East wind, with a fast running tide. made for super tough drifting conditions , even with a HUGE drift sock out was pushing 2 knots, decided to just stay local for the few hours, making long drifts on various lumps.
had a bunch of shorts, but just two keepers which Scott had both of.
Wind dropped to south , and the drift went to 0 . so moved around looking for some current flow, at the start of the outgoing. but just found drop and reel sea robins for the rest of the night

AFTERNOON FLUKING 7/18
Headed out after work with Scott, Steve and Anthony last night to do some fluking.
Wind against tide most of the night, and had to fish 8 OZ + with the sock out but still picked away at some decent fish.
Marinade infused GULP once again outfished the regular stuff , with 8 out the 10 keepers we had.
Shorts to keepers last night was prob 3-1 . Fun night , and with the south wind it was much cooler on the water than inland.
God proved he had a sense of humor last night with some funny sights in the clouds, through out the night. while the pic isnt quite what we saw I think you will get the picture LOL
Steve had the nicest fish at 7 pounds

NEW GULP MARINADE
Since I have gottin enough texts to melt my phone here is the info:
The scent line is called MARINADE , it comes in Shrimp, minnow , and mullet,sardine, shad,salmon egg, garlic and I believe a few more .
Supposed to be available In October.
after using it the other day I think this is going to FLY off the shelves
It can be added directly to the Gulp bait, or added to the alive solution to brine over night.
We found the marinade toughened up the new gulp to be similar to the original formula, and it def drew more strikes while using it to fluke on Sunday

NEW GULP MARINADE
The new attractant in just being called MARINADE.
it can be added to the gulp juice or directly to the gulp bait.
it is coming out in a few different scents.
We found it also toughened up the gulp a little making it feel more like the origional stuff. A WIN WIN as long as it doesnt make it too tough over time
One of the new baits we were using was the squidly's, they held up good to the fluke, and we found they inhaled them deep on the initial strike, sea bass did do a number on the tentacles though when they were hitting it

GOOD FLUKING 7/14
Had Scott, Steve and David out today to do some fluking.
Got to try out some new GULP products that are supposed to be out the end of this year.
They def put a beating on the fluke . we tried to compare the Regular gulp VS the new stuff, and it didnt take long until all of us were just fishing the new stuff. We def had WAY more hits on the enhanced product.
Also got to try the New Revo Toro Nacl in a 50 series . Abu def has hit a home run with the improvements they have made to this reel . It is silky smooth . has a ton of torque, and was just a dream to fish with . Reel has NO PLAY what so ever in it. Had fluke to just under 7 pounds on it and it never took any extra effort working the fish to the boat.
Fished bucktails to 10 OZ with it most of the day , and have 0 fatigue .
Looks like I may replace my favorite Lexa's with them.
Ended the day with Scott, Steve and Myself each having a limit of fluke, and David did a number on the sea bass
Will add pics of the day when I get them from Steve, just had this one on my phone.
Another very nice day on the water

ICED TEA FLUKIN 7/7
Went out fluking with Steve yesterday. after seeing super clean water coming in from tuna fishing saturday night , had high expectations for a good day.
Left the dock to find ICED TEA colored water flowing in . could not believe how dark the water had gottin overnight.
Made our way East hoping to find some cleaner water, but it was nasty everywhere we went.
We had ling and weakfish and a few short fluke on the reef. Then made our way fishing alot of different lumps, that were carpeted with fluke. Only problem is they were all short fish 15- 17 inches .
had to catch well over a hundred fluke bucktailing in just over 4 hours. to find just 5 keepers.
The nicest one Steve had was 5# 1 oz on the dock.
fun day with all the non stop action, and def better than sitting inland during this heat wave.

NEW MEMBER OF THE 50 POUND+ STRIPED BASS RELEASE CLUB
Had Brad and his A team out last night. bait was very skittish and spread out until we saw a pod get hit. one throw of the net there and we had live wells full to the brim . NICE when the bait wont dive because of being chased from below.
Shucker put the first bass of the night in the box on a snag and drop bait a good eater at just 32 inches. a few more blue fish bite offs then all went quiet.
Made a bunch of moves fishing different lumps, when finally Brad gets a good run off. He sets the hook and his rod doubles over and the drag is SCREAMING , he looks at me and says this fish is going to spool me I cant stop him. Told him to bump up his drag slowly on his Talaca, and he justs looks at the line still flying off the reel.
Finally the fish swirls way off the boat and we see its a good one. few minutes later I tell him to put some as into it and get that little bass to the boat. He laughs as the bass once again makes a hard run. Finally as the bass comes boatside I can see its a REAL good one.
I slip the net under the fish up in the bow of the boat, telling him its a dink as he cant see it. He looks over the side and sees the bass barely fits in the net. And he helps me lift it over the side.
On the deck I know before it even hits the scale he has just caught a 50 plus pound bass.
it pulls down the Rapala Digital scale to 51 pounds 12 ounces.
Sorry for the crappy pictures, but as anyone who actually has had a LEGIT 50 they are very hard to handle and get a good pic as they just want to fall all over the place. And it was a struggle to even get these pics as he couldnt hold onto the bass
and Brads biggest concern was getting this beauty back into the water to swim another day.
After these quick few pics, we swam her along side the boat for a few minutes, until see ripped away from my hand , slapping me with that great broom tail as she swam away from the boat.
The next few minutes you would have thought he had just scored a touch down at the super bowl as he fist pumped and jumped around on the deck that he had just released a super bass.
CONGRATS BRAD ON GETTING IT DONE.
