Quick Weekend Report: Nice Fluke

Ken caught a five pound fluke

Ken Counts caught a nice 5.3 lb Fluke

This weekend’s report kicks off with Ken and his jumbo 5.3 lb fluke.

Many rental customers reported back limiting out on fluke, mainly fishing in close within great bay. Although some customers are unhappy throwing back the extra 18″ overs “for someone else’s dinner” as Ken Counts put it on our Facebook page.Β 

Just in case you needed a refresher on regulations for 2022, we got you covered.

New Fluke Regulations Facing Crisitism

Moreover, many critics of the new fluke regulations believe once summer gets in the swing of things more anglers will begin to report smaller fish outside the slot range. It will be interesting to see fluke catch size throughout the summer.

However, at Captain Mike’s were a glass half full kind of a bunch especially with Great Bay’s quick tide turnover, giving anglers plenty of opportunities.

Speaking of the bay, Bluefish were caught caught in Great Bay this weekend. It was reported cocktail size blue fish were wandering into the bay from the inlet over the weekend.

Finally, lets get after it and let’s go fishing!

Now, her own family is facing that same kind of heartbreak.

This is an unimaginable situation for Melanie, their daughter, and everyone who loves Matt.

If you are in the NJ, Delaware, or Pennsylvania waterways area β€” especially those in the boating, fishing, or maritime community β€” please stay alert. Any information, no matter how small, could be important.
