Excellent fluke fishing ...... Sandy Hook
 

Fished with my son yesterday, Friday, leaving Shark River around 6am.

Tried a couple of spots at the Rocks - nothing so we ran up to Sandy Hook.

It was nearly non stop action on keepers and throw backs on minnows and gulp.

My son even landed a double header of 4-5lb size fluke one on the bucktail, one on the teaser. Probably caught 20 - 30 fish, keeping 8 big keepers. That's more than enough fish.

Fantastic day, with the light N, NW wind lined up perfectly with outgoing tide for drift fishing.

Calm seas, easy ride back down the beach.

Sounds like you had a great time! Nothing better than that!

Nice going on those Fluke!!!!

Every once in a while you end up at thr right place at the right time

Found it a hassle to post on this site, but that's my fault.

I pm'd my email to you.

Pic sent to your email.

The fish started biting when the water warmed, but seem to be concentrated in areas.
Spots from last year not producing, new are. That's fishing

Hey Now,
That,s a nice catch! Every catch should be that good.

Nice fluke. Guess the draggers left a few for us. I know it's been a tough year with the water temps being low for a bite and dtaggers scooping up all the good ones. Good to hear u scored.

Got humbled again yesterday, Saturday Aug 16.

Figured I'd fish the SH beaches, and had lots of action on shorts, tons of sea robin, two huge sand sharks.........and two keeper fluke. Maybe caught n released 30 - 40 fish.

Back at the dock - one boat comes in and tossed at least four 6 - 8lb class fluke onto the dock along with several other nice keepers. I kid you not, looked like small halibut. Said they were in a tourney, and didn't win .....winning fish was nearly 10 lbs. Don't know where they fished, or how they fished, but wow.

Other boats at ramp had from zero to a couple keeoers.
Big fluke are out there.......
