I fished aboard the Sea Hunter out of Perth Amboy last Saturday and we did quite well with the fluke on our afternoon trip.
I was fortunate enough to fish with the folks at Millington Baptist Church, and all 35 anglers aboard the boat landed flatties, with the high hook being over 20 fluke. The pool winner was a 5-1/2 pounder, and many keeper summer flounder were also caught.
We fished a number of places in the bay, from lower bay spots like Princess Bay off of Staten Island to other parts of Reach Channel, then finally Sandy Hook Bay. At almost every drop, we landed some flounder.
We were going to finish up the night fishing worms in the rips for stripers, but we were in a wind against tide situation, so instead of fishing the rips, we opted to continue landing plenty of fluke as we finished the night.
It was a great trip. Thanks to Captain Mike for putting everyone into such good fishing all day long.
