Fluking from Shark River NJ northward

[bgreene]

Right - much the same here, and I say, fishing is steadily getting worse.Sure we can catch Stripers when the schools make it easy, but otherwise, worse.

The river- you see that little aluminum boat name " flukeosaurus " or such ?
They use little tiny rods and jig all over the river and back bay.
I've seen them take nice keepers a few feet from the gas dock.

Talking with another river fisherman who claimed he almost landed a monster fluke est at 15 lbs plus, and that a 17 lb fluke was taken from the river.

Our boats are a bit big, and subject to being blown around too quickly for those spots.
That plus got to fish the tides, catching the tide changes too.

Not sure what I should fish for now - maybe run up north of the rocks for porgies soon.

About the Rattlesnake - yes, outside of the deep can at the Rocks, in approx. 70' of water.
All the fluke we caught Sunday were in shallower - one spot lots of 12 " shorts in close to the beach.
