He was using bucktails (with rind) in Fort Pond Bay looking for Striped bass, but started catching fluke! A lot of fluke! Within a couple of ours he had about 20 with many being "close" to keeper size. Thanks for the report colin. Send your pictures next time.<br /><br />Anyone can submit reports to me at info@fishingmontauk.com<br /><br />The following is from Capt. Gene Kelly of Montauk Sportfishing. He recaps the offshore shark and tuna bite, as well as, the inshore action.<br /><br />============================<br /><br />I usually post these reports on Monday morning, but a last minute decision to go fishing changed that. <br /><br />Offshore the waters are in the mid to upper sixties and green, with eelgrass floating in it and as many inshore birds like terns and seagulls as shearwaters and petrels. But there are sharks too, with enough bluesharks still around to provide action along with occasional makos and threshers. Tuna sightings though are very few and far between.<br /><br />The last of the early season shark tournaments is this weekend, being held at Star Island on Saturday and Sunday. This is sponsored by the Boatman’s and Captain’s association, and most of the proceeds go toward college money for local kids. It looks like you will be safe from the sharkhuggers, so stop by and buy something. <br /><br />Inshore things are going well. If we had last years fluke regs it would be great as there are lots of fish less than an inch short around, especially out in the rips.<br /><br />Bass fishing is steady, with trollers and live baiters doing well. Everything is working, but catches are kind of up and down, with some days and tides better than others. But I guess that’s fishing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2526639684449309"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_channel ="0337037783"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>fishingmontaukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10721960796079315299noreply@blogger.com
