Fluke season opened on Saturday to less than ideal conditions, with a little bit of breeze.
In spite of that most boats that went out did OK. Sunday was a different story with great
conditions and a pile of boats drifting on the south side from Ditch Plains east to the
Lighthouse. But something happened to the fluke. They didn’t eat. One charterboat found
some fish in the Rips, so maybe that’s where they all went, even though it’s a couple of
weeks early for them to be out there.

The striped bass are here as well, but they are a little dicey too. Be in the right place at the
right time of the tide and you can probably catch your limit; although you’ll have to keep
the ruler handy, as just about everything is right on the border. Get out too late and you’ll
have to work your tail off to get a couple of fish.

Westlake is holding a get together to remember Eddie Miller on Monday, May 24th
at 4pm, what would have been his birthday. If you are interested in attending RSVP
