Anthony Baldino reported using Bubble Gum Zoom soft baits (like a Fin-S) to catch a 3.66-lb (22") Fluke at around 3:30 PM in the Brant Beach Surf. That was about "dead" low tide.

That's the second report today of Fluke being caught in the surf on artificial "long and lean" soft bodies. Both reports were around the tides transitional time. Uncle Moe's fluke were at the top of the tide and Anthony's was at the bottom of tide.

2:45 PM

This morning, Uncle Moe fished the Surf City beachfront first catching nothing while plugging for about 30 minutes then he switched for the next 30 minutes to casting and retrieving a 3-way set-up baited with Gulp New Penny Jerk Shad. Doing this he twice in knee-deep water hooked up with short Fluke. This was all around the time of the morning high tide with the fluke hook-ups happening as the water started moving out.
