Saltwater, deep sea/bottom fishing, on the Sea Queen VII, out of Sheepshead bay. Fished about 3 hours, with travel time deducted. The Fluke (Summer Flounder) fishing is en fuego... I caught 8... but they are all shorts. I caught one keeper, which went back anyways. Only one Black Seabass caught on the whole boat, which was kept, at 11" long. I'm really worried that they are being overfished. In the last 2 years, I have only seen one or two that were over a foot. In years prior, it was not unusual to see 6 pounders coming up. Anywho, my arm was hella sore by the end of the day because the only rod I could find is my little freshwater spinner, which has about a 6" handle. Not enough to wedge it under my arm to gain extra leverage in a fight. And you need that extra leverage with Fluke. They fight like heck, and they either turn sideways while being fought to use their flatness like a parachute or they just burry in the sand. Fun trip.
Thats wats up!!
