SLOW FLUKE FISHING 9/17

Headed out with Tracey and Steve to try and do some fluke fishing today.
Got to try out the new electronics today. was nice to have the extra screen , as on leaving this morning it was densely fogged in.
was able to set the radar and chart plotter, as well as the fish finder screens on and make our way easily and safely out to the grounds.
Had very good intel of some BIG fish being found relatively close to home.
Worked that area for a few hours and had a bunch of shorts , as there def were fish there but couldnt find bigger ones wanting to chew.
Worked a few miles north where we still had way more small fish. but put a few keepers in the box to Traceys 4+ pounder.
I had one fish that was a definite surprise when A big cownose slammed my gulp and pulled off over 100 yards of line before I was able to turn him and bring him boatside.
The Revo Nacl drags worked flawlessly on those long hard runs, another testament to their reliability for most fish encountered inshore

Getting there

Finally was able to get the electronics installed in the boat.
Installer coudnt figure out a glitch between the units, a quick call to Furuno Tech support had it up and running in minutes.
The Furuno tech support is second to none.Great to deal with a company who sets the bar high in making sure the users of their units get the best set up possible.


Just a few more other things to add and the boat with be much better equipped for the fall fishery

BIG DOG TOURNEY 8/29

Headed out with Scott , Eddie , and Anthony to fish the last tourney of the  2015 season.
fishing was slow with way more shorts than normal for the sticky stuff we were fishing.
Managed 10 keepers, to Anthony's just over 5#.
Scott had the high hand with his limit.
.

Getting the boat ready to do some off  shore stuff in the next few weeks

Family Fluke Fun 8/16

Got to enjoy a few hours of relaxed fluking today , With Tracey, My sister Jodi and nephew Jacob from PA this morning.
Made a quick run down the beach to where I had a friend tell me was a decent pod of fish the last few days.

Got to fish in the sand snag free , had alot of action, mostly shorts about 7/1 but also 5 keepers to Jodi's biggest at 6.1 on the digital back on the dock.

Back in the slip before noon.
Then off to a great lunch at the Shrimp Box.

Was great to see them enjoy what we take for granted here in NJ.
And enough fillets for them to take back to PA with them to enjoy fresh 

FSOS FLUKE TOURNEY 2015

Broke in the new REELMUSIC today , fishing the first tourney on it. The FSOS 
Fished with Tracey, Scott, Eddie , and Anthony.
Had to work finding fish that wanted to chew, but the Quality of fish today was very good.
We caught over a boat limit, ( only keeping 22)
throwing back anything under 20" lots of fish between 4-6 pounds.
The biggest 2 going 7.4 and 6.4, finishing just out of the money.
The 7.4 was 29 1/4" long , it just had a very thin white side.
took 8 pounds to get into the dough.

Congrats to the winners, and those who placed.
Congrats to Buck and team for taking 2nd

Easy fluke limits 8/14

Looked around at a few spots for tomorrows tourney.
Found more shorts than we have been seeing , but plenty of decent fish mixed in . nothing huge, but fish to 4 pounds.

Tracey and I had our limit a little after noon.


hope to find a mat tomorrow

FLUKEMASTERS wanna puke fluke

Headed out on Scotts boat with Him , Eddie And Anthony this morning for the Flukemasters tourney.
fished hard for our 4 man limit of fish to Eddie's 6 pounder. weighing in 22 pounds even.

def had some times I just wanted to puke today, NOT from the sea's but due to the fact Scott and I each dropped 2 very good fluke today.
Would have only took two pounds to get us into the money and any of those four fish would def have put us at the pay window.

congrats to all who placed
