Day 2 wasn’t as good as day 1. We had issues drifting for most of the morning. Things improved slightly after the tide change, but we still didn’t catch as much as yesterday. “Mr. June” Danny Martin won today’s pool with a 3.6 pound fluke which also is in the lead for the May/June Flukemaster Pool.

Saturday, 5/29/10 1st Fluke Report

Posted on 29 May 2010 by Lou Russo

Opening day 2010!! 

We made our way to the usual opening day grounds, The Coast Guard Station at Sandy Hook, and found the fish waiting for us. Dave Plumacher officially started the season for us by catching the first keeper of 2010. Fishing remained good all day, and the average catch was close to 20 shorts with a keeper or two mixed in. John Hannah won today’s pool making it two consecutive years winning the opening day prize. Today was a great start to what looks to be an excellent season!!

It was a tough day of fishing. We read a ton of life, but couldn’t get any steady action. Had a small shot of fish toward the end of the tide, and two people were able to capitalize and catch their limit. Jimmy Bufis won the pool with a 25 pound bass.

We headed to some new ground for 2010, steaming all the way to Rockaway, NY, a trip that would prove to be unsuccessful. Made our way back to where we had our best fishing yesterday in hopes of an encore, and it paid off as we finished the day strong!! Rookie fisherman Mike Contri won todays pool with a 25 pound bass, and Mike Iskandar caught his limit up to 20 pounds.

If your name was Jimmy or Kenny you were in luck!! Jimmy Bufis and Ken “The Legend” Havens put on a clinic today by completely DOMINATING the bass grounds. Their performance would rival any Sunday morning ESPN saltwater show that is on. . . If your name was not Jimmy or Ken, you just watched in envy. Kenny Havens won todays pool with a 17 pound bass.
