 |
|
| I've been catching fluke for the past few days in south eastern CT using Gulp! on a jig head. My last trip I caught two fluke the first one being 15" and the second 14". I also had at least one fluke follow my jig in. I hope to catch a keeper soon so I can eat it, they have to be 16 inches to keep where I've been fishing. |

| Try using a strip of squid vs the gulp. Been having luck with keepers with long squid trailers. I take a whole local squid, cut the head piece into 4 strips, make sure to remove the wings. Then cut a notch so its a split tail. |

| I've been having luck this year with sandworms and last year they wouldn't stop biting my herring chunks. But if use the herring, make small chunks, only about an inch wide- they love em! |

Use a small bucktail like a Spro with the Gulp! curltails or a Gulp! minnow if you're usin just jig heads. I also like Uncle Josh's pork rinds. Nice long strips. Or long squid strips, as GK said.

Ended up catching two schoolies today. There's a lot of small snappers and small bait where I'm fishing, maybe peanut bunker.
I also saw another abandoned rod. This one looks like it was underwater for a while and may have been snagged by a fisherman, based on the rod's condition. It was a five foot rod with a clunky spinning reel with some 50 lb mono spooled on the reel  . |

Today I livelined snappers. I caught two fluke with the snappers the first one was 13 inches and the second one was a 19 inch keeper.
I filleted it and ate it. It was pretty good.
It's stomach was fat so I decided to open it and found these two snappers.

| Snappers- catch a few and put them down off a 3 way swivel with sinker at the bottom. Live is best and you will catch. Takes big bait to catch big fish... |

That's what Ive been doing here in new york at Jamaica bay, also Ive noticed right around 8:45 the sand sharks come out lol . They were biting one after another as soon as i casted. it was like dog fish blitz. lol!
the trick for me is holding on to the rod cause i dont know if it is just me, if you dont set the hook at the right time they just get away it leaving lil pieces.
Caught a 22 inch keeper flounder but i let it go cause i never eat any i catch, offered it to someone else but they didn't want it. |
