Had a great 2 days on the ocean this weekend! Did some great Tog fishing releasing a bunch of shorts and keepers with my one keeper each day. Bite was insane.
The Fluke Bite turned hot in the afternoon with some really nice fat fluke coming over the rail. Bob W from the club joined me Sunday and had some angler issues…lol. his best catch nearly got away but they hit the net with amazing coloration as you can see. Next time he`ll get a keeper fluke or 2.
Had a fun Saturday on the water with a couple club members on my boat the Avery Lynn. Bob Warnoch and Anyta headed out for a day of fluke fishing. Hit a bunch of spots and all held life…many short fish and some nice keepers as well. Would have been nice to come back with a full limit..but wasn`t to be. Still a pleasant day non the water with friends of mine that love to fish!
Thanks for following us! I wanted to remind everyone that our August meeting is coming up This Friday, August 8th. If you are even just a little interested, please reach out or come out for the meeting. We would enjoy having anyone come out and chat about fishing, the latest catches and techniques. We`ll also discuss upcoming events and plans for the future.
Come on out!
Thanks for following us and Tight Lines everyone.
Sincerely,

Well…got out yesterday on Avery Lynn trying to target some pelagics. Lots of Hammerhead Sharks lurking in the mud hole! Didn`t see much else. Some mahi out there but nothing to make a trip worthwhile. Did some fluking at the Rattlesnake in the afternoon to eound out the day with 3 quality fluke to 23 inches.
So today, at couple members of the Sandy Hook Bay Anglers and friends did a different excursion! We headed out on the Miss Magic sport fishing fleet boat to haul lobster pots and spend some time fluking!
We wound up with a nice haul of fresh lobsters and some fluke and sea bass to go with. A good time was had by all. British Dave won the smallest fish of the day and Josh was the Sea Robin king.
2025 43rd running of the Sandy Hook Bay Anglers Fluke Tournament is in the books! Thank you to all who participated and fished hard all weekend. It was great seeing everyone at the Captains meeting and the results of the final weigh ins. Looking forward to our next year`s tournament.
A huge thank you to each and every one of our sponsors for their generosity in helping make this event what it is.
Day 1 results of the 43rd Annual SHBA Fluke Tournament. Congrats to those who weighed in today. Looking forward to another day on the Water tomorrow. Tight Lines!
Got out alone yesterday for the morning outgoing tide. Not a bad day…not a lot of fish caught overall but got my limit and headed back to the dock early
Best personal day so far…..
