Woke up early this morning so I figured I would get some fishing in. I haven't been down to Penfield in a long time with the last outing resulting in a skunk.

I was the only one out there besides a handful of guys all the way at the end of the reef dunking some chunks. The action was pretty steady all the way up to the dead low tide. I caught well over a dozen sea robins and my first ever fluke! That first fluke turned into 5 fluke by the end of the day. All of them were shorts with the biggest one being right around keeper size but it got away as soon as I took out my tape measure. Everything was caught on an SP Minnow. The other guys fishing were pulling in sea robins as well. I didn't see any topwater action or birds diving in the water for bait. I was seeing some small baitfish swimming around but I don't know what they were. No blues, snappers, or stripers were to be seen or had. I hit the road around 11am with the tide coming back in. It was a beautiful morning to be out there and I was pretty excited to finally land a fluke even though it wasn't anything big. Here's the first flat of the day to kick things off: [URL=http://s151.photobucket.com/user/BlackedOutSRT4/media/20130727_090609_zpsb976c7fd.jpg.html][img:cc6e5915d4]http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s141/BlackedOutSRT4/20130727_090609_zpsb976c7fd.jpg[/img:cc6e5915d4][/URL]

Congrats on your first fluke Jeff! They're aggressive and fun to catch. They taste SO GOOD!! Teeth are like needles, prickers, or spines. Now you see that they will hit a minnow plug, which is why I get many on Rapalas.
