I was joined by the “Weigh master Pat, Bayside Dave and Bill 006 3/4 for the VHFC Fluke Tournament. Having received some good intel the day before, we headed to Great Bay. Out first spot did not work out do to the current and weeds so we headed to spot #2.
When we first set up we were using the trolling motor to control the drift speed and direction. The first couple of drifts only produced shorts. Decided to stow the trolling motor and just let the boat drift naturally. That was the trick. In the next couple of hours we boated 9 keepers. Several of the fish were over the 20″ mark. We noticed some of the fish were spitting up small croakers. Most effective rig was jig with gulp and a bare hook with a minnow for the teaser The biggest fish we caught was on the bare hook and minnow. Go figure!
Best of all, on Sunday we had Fried Flounder Sandwiches with Creamed Corn and Coleslaw. Does not get an better than that!
