@Snapprhead27 don't open that door ? It was very clean. It was some crazy fishing and aside from a few mishaps, like when I never called for the net until I realized it was a big fish. I tried to keep it floating with the old figure 8 move. But it ran hard then stopped and I watched the bucktail fall out.
It was great fishing with Kevin. Even though he put the heat on me when it was time to net his fish. "Whatever you do don't miss it" The thought never entered my mind before that?
Once again I have to hand it to our captain @Leprechaun Taking into account the Tide, wind and drift direction, he made a few adjustments during the day that made the difference.
Overall it was a special day with a great crew!

"Luck" is when preparation meets opportunity.
I prefer fishing evolution to fishing extinction.
If ya want to clean up the water, ya gotta get the pigs out of the creek.

I'm calling fake news on that one! We were done fishing taking pics. It's obvious he set me up ?

Yeah, umm nope! 😳
On top of every other responsibility I have when we're offshore, not to mention being a world-class fish pix photographer 🙄, you say I have the time to "set you up?”
No way! At that point in the day I barely have the energy left to press the snap button on my phone camera. 😆
I'm callin' "Fake News" to your fake news. (Fake news squared?) 😎

So will Earl end our 2022 fluke season? Big ocean the next few days, so we shall see . . .

I figured there was an offshore storm brewing when I saw the upcoming forecast for fairly light winds but moderate seas for the upcoming week.
I sure hope it doesn't turn off the Fluke bite as I have 2 Montauk charters scheduled for late next week. Hopefully Earl stays far enough to the east to not upset the Fluke too much!!

There’s a “window” before that. After that? I dunno.

I don't like what I see for Wednesday wind wise ??
If Montauk is out of the question, I think at least 2 of my other fares would be satisfied with a Sea Bass Trip in the Sound. We could also mix it up a little with some of the Blues and perhaps a Striper in the Gut. Let me know if you are interested in the alternate plan or just prefer to wait for Tog to open up.
CaptainOriginal Crew1,853 postsSince 2018
I know, Matt. Looks like we are on the edge, once again. Generally speaking, most of the late season Fluke action is close to the point but the offshore drops also hold some potential. So, like always I will have to wait until the 6pm update on Tuesday before making the call.

Hit the Deep today with George and Kevin - beautiful ocean all day. Right off, I hit a 3.5lb and 6lb-even fish, and thought, O.K., here we go!
But it was not to be as the bite disappeared until later on, well into the afternoon tide. That's a lot of time spent picking through shorts and assorted non-flat trash fish. We did finally get a bite going around 1:30 - and worked our way to six keepers, including George's 6lb12oz beauty. The results weren't what we had hoped for, but we all fished VERY hard, not even stopping for lunch 'til well into the afternoon. My 9-trip full boat limit string is now broken, but hey it was great fun while it lasted. 🙂
Frankly, I think "Tropical Storm Seven" will probably end the 2022 fluke season - and so if this is our last deep jigging trip for the year, at least we took some really nice fish among today's catch.
Usually a good sign when the first fish of the day is a solid keeper

Followed up almost immediately with a fat 6lb beauty!

George's "Fish of the Day" at 6lbs12oz

And don't believe the school of modern psychology's nonsense - a bit of "negative reinforcement" DOES produce results - why, just look at "George's Corner" at the end of this trip - a BIG improvement, indeed! And I count THAT among my greatest achievements this season. 😎
