Jamaica Bay Flukin'

Saturday we went out, fished JB, managed 46 Fluke, the biggest fish were @19 inches.

All were returned healthy and ready for next year.

Always did well in Jamaica Bay....actually caught my largest fluke ever over there by the bridge right off the Coast Guard base.

By the way...what were you using for bait?

The Coast Guard Station is a good spot on the outgoing tide.
We alway's use Gulp Alive 4" Natural Shrimp. Haven't bought bait bait in 5 years.

Thanks..... Where are you out of in Staten Island? I am out of the Bentley Yacht Club in Tottenville. Pretty close to Tottenville Marina and the Outerbridge.

No we fished Jamaica Bay. I don't know how far you can or want to run, but if you want to Fluke, try the Reach Channel by Buoy 19, around the Prince's Bay Bug Light, Great Kills Bug Light and last, just off the Ambrose Channel by the Islands. I saw people fishing for Fluke by you in the triangle, they were all NJ boats. I never really heard of anything big coming out of that area. NJ only needs 18", we need 20.5. Hope this helped a little.
