Quick Update:

There is a new leader in the Fluke Derby '04! It is a 5.5 lb flattie hauled to the deck by Al, way to go! Also, a big Hurrah! for Nicky 'crumbs' and Capt. Joby for slaying the Stripers with the light tackle over the weekend!

Hey anglers,
Despite the fluke bite being picky this week, anglers managed to pick away at some nice fish. Tues evening Albert managed 6 keepers up to 3 lbs., only keeping his limit and Sheppy landed over 15 fish with 7 keepers to 3.5 lbs. only keeping his limit and a 8 lb. skate. Wed. Evan Marchetti won the pool with a nice 4 lb. flattie. Wed. NT Capt. Glenn had a blue bite that never stopped all NT with fish up to 10 lb hitting the decks and the blue have been biting like this day and NT all week so come on and bend the rod. Thurs. trips in the day, morning bite got off to a good start with Jerry high hook with 6 keepers to 3lbs only keeping his limit, afternoon bite a little picky with anglers taking home 2- 3 fish a piece. Thurs. NT fluke was slow, but we managed to jig up some blues to keep everyone in the action. Fri. and Sat. a.m. trip continued to be on the slow side, but Sat. afternoon the action was hot and heavy again jigging blues to 4lbs. for the first half and some anglers catching there limit on second half, not bad for a couple hours of fishing. Sea Otter West Fri. NT trip this week is chartered and Steve Powers remains in the lead of our derby. We would also like everyone to know that the blue fish are all over from 2 lb cocktails to 15 lb gorillas so come on down and wrestle these bad boys while the are still around. We are trying something new, in August we will be sailing on Sat. NT for a fireworks cruise, call or go to the web for details.

Hey anglers,
To open the first place derby angler this week is Steve Powers with a 5 lb. fluke on Fri. full day trip and held trough this weekend. The fluke bite started off strong this first half of the week, with anglers limiting out in a few hours. The pool fish between 2.5 - 5lbs. The evening fluke has seen a few less fish then our day trips but still a decent pick. The NT. bass/blue fish trips have turned to mostly blues with fish hitting the decks at the 3- 8lb. range. On our full day trips with the fluke being good enough for everyone to fill there pails, we end up chuncking or jigging up some good blue fish action to end the day. The Sea Otter West will now sail Wed. as a full day boat only and making Fri. a half day boat 8 - 12 and 1 - 5, still keeping our 6 - 11 NT. trips the same. We would also like to thank all the anglers and first timers from the NYAC of New Rochelle for joining us on a great trip on Sat.

Hey anglers,
Mon., Tues.,and Thurs. evening fluke bite has been extremely good with most anglers catching over their limit and only keeping three, with fish averaging 2 lbs. and the pools between 3-5 lbs. Wednesday, Friday, and Sat. night bass trips are good with a couple of bass to 20 lbs and some blues to 8 lbs in the mix. We are now going to combo our NT. trips with fluke & blues. Wed., & Fri. full day trips have seen plenty of action with some anglers limiting out on fluke and putting some porgies/sea bass in there coolers also. We've also been able to jig up some blues during these trips up to 9lbs. Thurs., Sat. and Sun. fluke trips are keeping all the anglers busy, again with most anglers limiting out and others catching there fill of sea robins and porgies. We had a couple of light tackle trips this weekend and have seen plenty of action on the top water with bass to 17 lbs and Kuni catching and releasing his first bass ever on a 6 lb test set up, what a blast!

The Sea Otter West is booked for Thurs. 7/15/04 - 'afternoon' 12-4pm and Sat. 7/17/04.

We are also starting a 'Fluke Derby' this week, Wed. 7/14/04, and sign in will continue to 8/18/04. For more details please call 516-676-6361.

Hey, this week the bite for fluke started off slowly but gradually became very good on Sat. morning, with over 50 keepers and the pool at 4lbs, all within 10 mins. of the dock. Bass action at night has slowed up for us, but there are some anglers still getting into good fish, hopefully, we can get on them this week. Our Fri. night trip saw a couple of bass to 22 lbs. and some blues to 6 lbs. where in the mix. The morning and evening fluke bite has been great and the afternoon trips have seen fish to 4lbs but a few less then the other trips.
Since we've had a lot of calls, we are running open on Monday two trips for fluke, so come on down and get into the action!
