Despite the crazy weather and easterly winds, it’s been a pretty action packed 2023 season so far. The only disappointment has been the Fluke, but not totally. The Fluke were slow starting up, but then they woke up and bit their faces off, then went back into hiding. It’s been a roller coaster ride with them all season. Now we’ve had a lot of easterly wind with a southerly swell, great for the surfers, but Fluke just hate that big swell. Also there was a massive school of Bluefish that came through, which probably sent the Fluke swimming for their lives! It’s definitely been crazy. One day they’re out by the windmills, the next day they’re found at Outer Cartwright, then another day they’re at Inner Frisby. Then at inner Frisby you have to battle the Sea Robins, which are a complete nuisance. You just got to pick an area that the wind and tide are working for you and hope the Fluke are there. Seems there are Fluke scattered around all the spots, hopefully September will provide a little more consistency, like in past years. Fluke season is open till October 9th and as a reminder the bag limit is 4 per angler and the size limit is 18.5 inches.

Offshore has been on fire for some time now. From 30 miles on out. Anglers were finding Yellowfins & School Bluefins around the Suffolk wreck, Tuna Ridge, & the Dumping Grounds. Further out in Atlantis & Veatch canyons, action with Bigeye Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, & Swordfish has been hot!

September is going to probably be action packed as well, so get on out there and have some great fun catching supper! Always check your safety equipment before going offshore or anywhere for
that matter, your life could depend on it!!
