 |
|
Quint and I will be out saturday flukin.Not sure were yet but i have something special for these bastages.
I have a dozen 6-7 inch live eels.I am wondering what kind of action they are going to recieve.We are still heading out with the standard baits but i think these eels may be a fresh touch as long as the snappers and blowfish stay away from them.
Anyone used eels before for fluke.I have caught a 4lb`r in the past on a live eel so i no they are part of a flukes well balanced diet.

Caught a fluke on an eel 3wks ago by accident when striper fishing off soundview ,and have caught fluke on diamond jigs at 6 mi. while blue fishing.There were so many blue fish to contend with yesterday while fluking , my rigs were torn to shreds.I did catch 3 fluke all shorts on the high hook of my 2 hook rig on Gulp 3" shrimp, good luck on Sat.

well the eels were a big hit.Quint and I limited out in just over a hour.We actually used 3 way striped bass spinner rigs with the small eels as a trailer.
None of the fish were of massive size largest being 21 inches and 3 lbs.I will post some pics this week after i get them developed and scanned.
After the fluke massacre was complated we used bucktails tipped with squid to limit out on porgies up to 17 inches and and a few keeper sea bass.
We also caught countless small bluefish and 1 keeper bass 36 inches that decided to hit quint`s porgy on the way up.
That is a mixed bag we will take everytime.
