Steve Kerry is one of the anglers who had an all-star type year, and on Sunday he put the final stamp on the 2011 Fluke Season. While fishing off Sandy Hook Steve hooked into what would be a beast. Upon netting it, bringing it over the rail and throwing it on the scale, Steve’s fish would weigh in at 10 lb 5 oz. A heck of a way to end what was a very good season.

Way to go Steve!!!

We are currently on hiatus for a few weeks until the striped bass fishing improves. I will keep you posted as to when we will start fishing for them.

Fluking was not at it’s best on Wednesday, but it was not at it’s worst either. The keeper ratio was well above average and a few people benefited from it. Wayne “Catfish” Smith lead the way with 4 keepers including the pool winner which weighed in at 4 pounds. Hammerin Hank caught 4 fish and put all 4 in his bucket as well. We will only be sailing Saturday and Sunday to finish out the 2011 fluke season.

It has been a very rough month to say the least. We have only made it out a handful of times because of the weather, and the times we did make it out the water quality was the pits from all the run off coming out of the rivers. It was basically like trying to fish in coffee with a splash of cream. . . Today we are out, the water has cleared up considerably, and the fluking has been pretty good. Pat Kapsos is currently the high hook with 3 keepers, and Joe Mattis caught a 7 lb 12 oz fluke which is the new leader in the monthly pool. . . I’ll keep you posted on how the rest of the day goes.

Never forget the people who lost their lives on this date ten years ago.  Remember their family members in your thoughts and
prayers, and be grateful for the men and women who keep this great country free and safe.

We will resume sailing on Saturday, Sept. 10th for fluke. See you then!!!

Bill Burns took an early lead in the September pool with a 6lb 4oz fluke caught on Saturday.
