WHAT DO YOU DO ?

[fishmaster63]

ok, maybe this is a bit personal but i dont really think so. its a little along the lines of "where do you live" and i happen to be extremely curious (nosey).
WHAT DO YOU DO ? (for a living). if you feel its too personal than by all means, answer anyway.

Hey Fishmaster63, you started this thread, and have never said what you do??
Whats up with that??
What you follow the fat lady at the circus with a shovel or what??

[fishmaster63]

i do but not professionally. i am a long island railroad conductor and the northeast's own duke of fluke. father, husband, and killie drowner.

[macojoe]

is that the best bait for fluke there??

I do almost all fluke here on the cape, commercially most of the time. We start with squid and end with fluke bellys here, I have tryed alot of stuff and this is the bet so far.

[fishmaster63]

mj, its not that its the best bait but...

i cant bring myself to cut up a legal size fluke for strip.
now and again we use searobin strip.
we usually use live snapper or baby bunker.
these peruvian spearing are absolutely massive.
we have very strict bag limits here.
i have yet to see the fluke, big or small, that can resist a live killie.
i do LOVE to fish fluke on artificials.
we also use squid strip now and again but i dont usually stick with one bait. depends on where and when im fishing.
so when all else fails nobody says no to live killies.

(also you have to see the chicken dolphin go nuts for these things).

[Pipe_Dream]

Why is the symbol for this thread a >:( ?
Don't you like what you do?

[fishmaster63]

do i like what i do ? sure. would i rather hit the lottery and never work again ? YADAMRIGHT!!! i dont know, i just found it and added it to every post so far... i kinda like the expression on his face. kinda the opposite of the "have a nice day" face.

[macojoe]

i cant bring myself to cut up a legal size fluke for strip

I woud never do that ::) in deep wateer we use jigs. I have gotten 11 and 12 pounders live lining scup for bass!!

I am allowed 200 pounds a day of Fluke at 14" comercial

rec. are allowed 7 fish at 17" whish really sucks!!!!

[Blue_Runner]

My best fish this year came on the one and only live killie I rigged up. Had finger mullet and caught 2 shorts using it. Ran out of finger mullet and had the 5" killie as a last resort (all caught in net). Put it on and bang - 21" flounder.

[willy]

Hey Skools, watch out because the species homo split tailious needs no computer screen, they have a highly developed sense of smell and can sniff out sh!t from thin air. ;)

[offshorega]

Hey, MJ-What kind of fish is a fluke? Is that some sortof yankee flounder?

[Skools Out]

LOL Maybe thay can't spell Flounder up north offshorega. Heck everytime my Girl does some crazy thing I just laugh and ask her if that's a northern thing since she's from Ronkonkoma. That's on Long Island in NY for those Southern folks LOL.

[chumbucket]

We have two distinct species of Flounder. Summer Flounder (or Fluke up here) and Winter Flounder (just commonly refferred to as Flounder). Fluke are the larger of the two species. 8)

[offshorega]

Ahh, I appreciate the knowledge guys. I thought it'd have to be in the family. Do you gig those ol' boys or try to hook'em?

[macojoe]

Fluke are larger and have teeth, flounder are smaller and have lips.
we use live bait, squid, fluke and other fish bellys, jigs what ever works!!

Captbent, excellent Striper fishing right now in RI. Some big fish being taken recently. ;)
Here's a great fishing website that macojoe and I also frequent for much of the fishing aspects of this great pastime. 8)

[macojoe]

Go to bed CB!! :o

[Blue_Runner]

I think the flounder are a right side fish and the fluke is a left side too with flounder being the darker of the two. I've never caught a "flounder" down here. They are all left side with teeth, so technically they are flukes.
