Dogfish on lite tackle while fluking

Catherine and her friends came out on July 25th for an evening of fluke fishing. They came on the boat with novice fishing skills. They picked up the jigging technique very easily and put a bunch of fluke in the boat.

Had Chris, Madison, Jake, and Julia out this morning. The wind and dirty water made for a tough trip. They worked through it and got some bites and put a bluefish in the boat. A nice fillet for the dinner table tonight.

Today i had Frank take his boys out for a full day of fishing. It was his son frank and son in-laws Joe and Philip. The day started off slow with a run down the beach on the flat ocean. Not much bunker to snag but did put a couple of short fluke on the hooks. They had a large dogfish take a live spot, about 50”. We ran back to the moriches reef to fluke fish, thats where the fun happened. They must have landed 30 fluke with two keepers and about 30 seabass with one being legal size. On the way back in we stopped in the inlet to bass fish. They landed 3 bass with two being beautiful slot size fish.
