8/12/07 Fluke Trip
 

We headed out of Woodstock Ct at 2 AM Sunday, arrived at Point Judith at 4 AM, launched by 4:30. The ocean was calm and the wind was 5 knots. It was looking to be a gorgeous day on the water and we were psyched. As we were making our way down the coastline to Misquamicut I looked back and seen the most beautiful sunrise I have witnessed in a long time. The sun was bright cherry red and on fire!

We fished from 5 AM till 5 PM and only two keeper fluke(both 20") but we threw back at least 40 fluke all ranging in the 16"/18" length. :'(
Son's buddy caught a real nice scup about 16" and I caught a nice size seabass but nothing to bust any record. All in all, we had a great day and a lot of fun.

Great report and excellent sunrise shots. I've been known to go hard core too. The last trip I did I left at noon on Friday and drove 3.5 hrs, got up Saturday morning and fished all day, left at 6pm and got home Saturday night at 9:30pm. It just takes some dedication and a strong desire to go fishin! I got totally skunked on that trip. :'( But I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Me too Cy 8)

Thanks guys, we sure did have a blast.

Kevin,

We were fishing out in front of the carousel area where the bumper car building is located, I believe. We could see Watch Hill easy from where we were but never did make it down to there. The beach at Misquamicut was packed with folks later that day. :o

Sean, he did keep the scup
