Fluke fishing is still the hot topic of the week. However, it seems
that somebody caught all of the big fluke. Still, fluke fishing is
the best bet for a fishing choice this weekend. Where to fish is the
big question. Well, from the reports that I have been getting, it's a
mixed choice: shallow water or deep water. Here's a few options. On
the morning outgoing tide try drifting the areas near creeks that
drain into the bay. Specifically, the Mystic Island side of the bay
from Graveling Point to the areas out front of the Cape Horn, Rands
and Capt. Mikes Boat rentals. The fluke must be feeding on shrimp,
spearing, and/or minnows that wash out of the creeks. Shad dart lures
and small bucktails and single hook rigs work better in this shallower
water. Minnows and squid strips are still the answer as far as bait
goes. A shad dart is best fished with a minnow only. Hook the minnow
through the lips to keep it as lively as possible. Other keeper fluke
have been caught in the deeper water closer to and in Little Egg
Inlet. Fishing in front of the Old Coast Guard Station has produced a
few keepers too. Drift the very shallow waters back into the deeper
water. Squid and minnow combo on a top & bottom rig is a good choice
for a rig here. The minnow is usually put on the top hook with the
hair and if your fishing a plain t&b rig put squid and minnows on both
hooks. Don't be afraid to experiment with different rigs and
different bait combo's. That's half the fun of fishing, finding some
rig or bait that works better than your buddies or that guy over there
who is watching you catch all the fish. Some anglers are very anxious
to try fishing for fluke on the ocean in the areas where they caught
fluke late last fall. There have been a few reports of fluke outside
but, no reports that were good enough to send you past the Inlet. If
your really itchy to try it, fish the Atomic Lump, 26943 & 43100 on
the loran which is about half a mile North East of the Little Egg Bell
Buoy and the Little Egg Reef site at 26920 & 43100.
