Where are the Fluke?

Hey,
I won't lie...where were the jumbo fluke? There's been maybe one
here, maybe one there, but nothing to write home about for sure.
But just a few days back a nice size school moved in. Quality
size fluke...I smell some real nice doormats around.
Mike took
us outside the inlet to the tin can grounds. I personally picked
up one nice 5 lb. fluke, two 3 pounders and 2 one pounders...and
threw back 4...not a shabby day. I must have dropped a dozen or
better.
The fish
are there...and it's the same old story...you'll need a silver
bullet with a blue bucktail to catch them...add to the show a
fresh meat strip...sea robin will do just fine, the white belly
is the best bet.
Mikey and
Tony don't play...they fish...and CATCH fish. No four hour drifts
here over barren grounds. Mike wouldn't stand for it. He doesn't
follow others, he hunts around the areas. "We're hunting
fluke, so be vewy, vewy qwiet!" ...and he produces. Hey,
if I can catch four nice pups anyone can! Then again, there's
my brother-in-law John...he's the black pearl of fishing. If you
ever see him get on a boat, leave. Run and don't look back. Beyond
that, there is good fishing to be had.
