Last weekend - Saturday. Out Shark River Inlet, Belmar, NJ by 6:30am and headed north for fluke.
Set up on a good drift with perfect northerly breeze ( after snaggin' some bunker for strip bait). Fish on nearly immediately for my son and I. Five keepers to a big fat 23" fish, two at 19", about 8 throw backs. Used circle hooks so all the throw backs returned in good shape - no gut hooked.
Stayed away from the " fleet" but took a boat ride north to Shrewsbury Rocks.
Didn't see much going on up there.
Full 60 gallons of fuel, boat ran fine, about what I expected.
Really enjoyed all the cockpit room......... compared to my old Mako.
About 10lbs of fresh fluke fillets went into the freezer, and ate a bunch too !
