Left the dock early to get the tide and that is exactly what we did. The Capt got us on the money. Bass limit was caught by 7:30 with a 20 lber being the largest. Bass were chasing bunker all around us. What a sight. Got tired of bass fishing and went looking for the fluke. Went to the usual spots and they produced some shorts along with some keepers. Rebecca box a 5 1/2 lber to take the big bucks for the day. Got back to the dock just before the rain.

On board today was Randy, Ken (the legend), Roger, Jigging Jack and the Melillo's. First stop was for bass and nothing but shorts. Off we went in search of the fluke. First keeper to hit the box was caught by Mike Melillo who was high hook with 2 followed by Cathy Melillo and Randy with 1 each. Oh by the way the Capt. added 2 to the box. Capt. decided to go for bass the last half hour of the trip and Cathy managed a 19lber and a another keeper. Great form in bringing them in. Jack, Ken and Roger were hardy boys today. Fluke pool went to Mike with a 4 1/2 lber. just beating out Randy. Doing it again next week.

Got a late start due to dense fog but we finally got started around 9:30. Made a few stops for the fluke and only managed to get shorts. The capt. decided to go looking for some bass which was welcome change. Came back inside and anchored up and waited. Short wait as Cathy(skinny) Mellilo had the first short. Mike Mellilo, Jigging Jack, Kevin (the Egg man), Mr. October all managed short bass. The star of the day was Roger with an 18lb bass that gave him the big bucks for the day. All in all it turned out to be a nice day.

Lost tide as soon as we got to the first spot. Nothing. Next we had to wait for tide, got tide and maybe 1or2 shorts came aboard. Rode around and tried a couple of more spots and a couple of more shorts with the exception of a 3lb blue caught by Mr. October. Anything that could go wrong did. On board was Grand pa Kenny, son Corey, grandson Corey, Bob and Capt. tug boat Fred. Sunday the 17th is the start of the fluke season and we will be out there. Check back for the first fluke report because the next thing you know you will be shoveling snow.
