Before the Storm by Bob Dodds

Posted on July 9, 2023 by VHFC

My cousin Joe & I went out with Brett Taylor on 6/16 to continue our traditional summer bay fluke contest. We knew that the weather would be getting bad, but hoped that we could get some fishing in before the storm. I had the biggest on the last two contests. However, this time, Joe caught 2 nice @ 20 & 21” fluke right away.

As we continued to fish in a number of areas, we almost had a boat limit and Joe was gloating, still ahead.
Brett continued to watch the radar and it was almost time to leave, which Joe was hoping for. On the way back to Waretown, Brett made one more stop. I thank Brett, because on a very quick stop, I caught a 22” for the boat limit and a win.
We got back just in time for Brett to clean all the fish in the heavy rain.

Joe, will have to wait for our July trip to get a big one. Sorry cuz. (We have fished together, on & off, for over 70 years, each time, acting, like we were 8 year olds again. (What memories)

Fishing Facts

Of the fifty United States, thirty-eight have a striped-bass record. New Jersey has the largest striped-bass record—a 78-pound 8·ounce whopper that was caught in 1982. The state with the smallest striped-bass record is Iowa. That landlocked striper weighed only 9 pounds 4 ounces and was caught in 1983.

There’s something fishy about beer these days. Fish Tail Ale is popular as ever, and New Jersey’s Flying Fish Brewery is one of the state’s largest specialty breweries. There’s also Washington’s Wild Salmon Organic Pale Ale, Florida’s Land Shark beer, Delaware’s Dogfish Head beer, and two versions of Stingray beer—a lighter version from the Cayman Islands and a dark beer from Canada.

The triangle fly is probably the most unusual of saltwater flies. It’s one of the few, if not only, flies tied to a treble hook. It’s also barely a fly at all, because hardly any material is used. It is complete after tying the two straw pearl twinkle flashes and the tiny tuft of natural squirrel, leaving an entire hook fully exposed. Incredibly this barebacked treble fly is a knockout when it comes to sea trout.
