Well it's over. The fluke season for 2013 has come to an end today. It started off as a normal day until Big Tom discovered he left his gulp at home and that delayed the trip for 35 minutes of which did not do him any good for the day. We finally left the dock and had a nice ride to the fluke grounds. Also on board was Roger, Mr. October, M. Melillo eieieio dag nabbit, Evz, Broken Toe Klinger and Joe Nardello. Today there were no birds working therefore no blues to chase, not many shorts but Broken Toe caught the biggest sea robin of the year. That a girl Rebecca. The catch was not great but we did manage 3 keepers. Joe N, M. Melillo and Mr. October dirtied the cooler with Mr. October taking the big bucks. Next weeks trip is being moved to Saturday and the guys and Evz are heading to New Hampshire and it is the opening day of black fishing. Yahooooooooooooooooo. Next week the dynamic Melillo eieieio dag nabbit duo will be in attendance.

Took a minor beating today with NW winds blowing 20 and better. We survived with a smorgasbord of fish. Mike Melillo eieieio dag nabbit had his limit of fluke. Big Tom had the first keeper of the day and added another towards the end of the day. Mr. October had 2 including the big money winner. Evz and Rebecca helped fill the cooler with Hickory shad, weakfish, cocktail blues which are fun to catch. The beating we took was worth the full cooler of fish we got. Next week ends the fluke season for 2013 and a good season was had by all. Well !!! at least I think so.

Great day to be on the water. We managed to get a fish smorgasbord including: Fluke, Bluefish, Seabass, Weakfish and Stripe Bass. Big Tom had the hot rod with high hook in the fluke and bluefish categories and also a short bass. If I didn't mention that he threatened me saying I wll never see another SS check. I got the picture. Mr. October had 2 keepers, a weakfish and some bluefish. Evz, Jack Tom also had 1 each. Joe N. had 1 also had the biggest weak fish of the day. The big bucks went to Jack Tom for the second week in a row. Nice work jack. Rogee and Rebecca showed up today. Rebecca had jet lag and still a broken toe. Oh well. We will be doing it all again next week.

Today we had Jack, Mr. October, Big Tom, Rogee , Evz, Joe N and Crabby (the guy that drives the boat). Made a quick stop and Rogee had 2 of his 3 keepers by 7:30. Slow pick for the rest of the day. All quality fish that didn't need the stick. Adding to the catch was Jack with 2 including the pool winner, Joe N had 2 plus a small cow nose ray that kept him busy for a while. Lots of sound effects too. Mr. October also participated in the catch with 1. Big Tom and Evz had a hard time but kept at it. Tom had an almost keeper sea bass but back it went. And yes we are going to do it all again next Sunday.

Overcast and looking like rain off we went. On board today was Skippy, Big Tom, Evz, Jack, Mr. October and Rogee. Very slow off the bat with just a couple of shorts. Heading to our normal spots and nothing to write home about. The shorts out-numbered the keepers. Total amount of keepers were 4. Mr. October was high hook with 2 with a 4.14lber which snatched the big bucks again this week. Not sailing during the week as Skippy and the Capt. are going tuna fishing on the Voyager out of Pt. Pleasant, NJ. Good luck guys.
