Hot fluking - This past fathers day weekend saw a slow bite with the bass while bluefish made up the bulk of the catch. Fluke fishing on the other hand was very good on fathers day with plenty of action and a limit of keepers. I expect a new slug of bass will ente more...

THE HEAT IS ON..... - On Thursday we fished with David Kent, a British Columbian native, currently living in Dubai. It was windy, so he couldn't use a fly rod, which he prefers, but–he boated 12 striped bass and one bluefish on light tackle with bucktail lures.
