Fish Caught: 12 Keeper Fluke 19.5"-25"; Aprox 30 Shorts and 1 Bluefish
Looking back thru my previous trips, the boat had a stellar trip last year on May 6th so I thought we would give it a shot. With the forecast of less than 1 foot seas and sunshine we pushed off from Galesferry marina with high hopes. We would not be disappointed.Seas we nice and calm as predicted and we were able to cruise out to the point at 32 mph.
Rounded the point to the usual Montauk Crowd
We had good picking throughout the day with a total of 12 keeper fluke from 19.5” to 25”. We ended releasing about 30 short fish, many were 18" to 18.5"......Here is Bobbie with a nice keeper.
Here I am with an average keeper.
Here is one of Greg's keepers:
I think Harrison was tired from catching all day!
Look at the fillet table!!!!
Details:
We arrived at 9am with the tide just starting to move. Picked up a few fish on green colored lures with squid/fish sandwich in front of the radar arched. Moved down the point to 41'01.865N & 71'54.063W in about 48' of water. This was in front of some cottages on the beach. Drifted into 30' of water for some good keepers. Lure of the day was a green rubber trailer hooked with squid/fish. Went back to the point with the crowd for a few more keepers. Left to head home at 3:30.
