It’s been a bit but we finally had a fluke weigh-in yesterday for the store tournament! Dave Closson has been hot with the tournament weigh-ins, with this one weighing 6.10# which puts this fish currently in 5th place! Fluke at the reefs has been pretty good and there are still a few fluke right out back. In the surf there are fluke but these last couple of days it has been hot with cocktail blues and there are reports of kingfish in the surf too. Up at the lighthouse, Ship Bottom Rob has been catching quite a few tog up but still working towards that keeper. Tog is 1 keeper per person until Nov. 15. Black Sea Bass ends TOMORROW and won’t open again until Oct. 1st.
