Great weekend, with a fair amount of boats fishing, at least on Saturday. Not so many on
Mommy’s day.

The fluke fishing is pretty good, fluke keeping, maybe not so good. Depending on who
you talk to the throwback to keeper ratio is 10, 20 or 30 to 1. The most honest report
came from early in the week from one captain who told me they caught around sixty
fluke with nine “legal keepers”. You can read what you want into that. Everybody keeps
saying that the draggers are catching a lot of big fish, and there have been a couple of fish
over ten pounds caught already, so it should be getting better real soon.

There are plenty of bluefish around as well, being caught by flukers as well as a couple of
boats that went after stripers. There was one bass caught that I know of, a 30” fish. I’m
sure that by next weekend there will be a lot more around
