JULY 4, 2008

We had Mike Scheb, Larry, Larry Sr., and Harry aboard today for a fluke trip.  Running out in steep 3' to 4' seas this morning and 15 knot winds, we got to the grounds and found chilly 62 degree water...a result of all the southerly upwelling.  Our first area produced scattered bites, but no fluke and all small sea bass.  We made a move to our second area, and found a fair pick of fluke with mostly shorts and a couple of keepers coming aboard.  Our final move of the day, we got on them good.  We had drop and reel fishing at times with nice fish coming aboard along with lots of 16" to 17" fish, as well.  The weather laid down beautifully, and the fish bit well at the end of the day!  Great trip!
