Played hooky from work today and went out on a friends 28' Parker CC. *We headed out to Montauk from Mystic, CT departing around 6 am looking for fluke.

New twin Suzuki 250's. *One of them was losing power above 4000 rpm.....not happy as they are brand new.



Ran into this on the way. *We live near a Naval Sub base.



Our primary target. *We did not do great on fluke. *A fair number of shorts. *This was the biggest at just over 21" *We took home 6 fluke between 3 guys.



I lucked into this very nice Sea Bass.



And FINALLY..........just about ready to head back we saw a flurry of bird activity and zipped over there. *My other buddy threw out a popper and hooked into a blue right away. *I had very few lures so just stuck on a Kastmaster and let her go. *First cast I got hit hard with the lightest rod I had on the trip. *This fish took a lot of line but after about 10 minutes I finally landed her. *A nice 32" striper!!!!



This was a big day for me......my first ever keeper striper......amazingly my first ever fluke......and a nice Sea Bass. *Caught lots of flounder as a kid but the winter variety.....never fluke. *Great fun and better than work any time!


Forgot....the 7 species were fluke, sea bass, striper, blue, sea robin, skate, and dogfish....
