First flatties of 2008

[whale]

Well, this is a delayed fishing report from opening day of fluke season in CT but I just got around to downloading the pics. I took my boys out to try for some fluke on May 24. The minimum here is now 19.5" and where we usually fish in Rhode Island it is now 20" so any keeper is a decent fish. We got out late (8 am) compared to my normal 5 am departure. The bite was fairly slow. I heard from some of the "pros" that went out at 5 am that they got their limit. We managed about 6 or 7 fluke with 2 of them being keepers. The little guy (Cameron, 8 yo) had the high hook with 4. I went out on Memorial Day Monday also with my buddy and managed 4 keepers (no pics of them). Here's my boys!

sadly, these are just barely "keepers"
