Again, we would have to say fishing has improved with a number of limits being taken and plenty of shorts to bend the rods. Action has been good in the ocean and the bays, with the better keeper ratios coming from the ocean though. We’ve mentioned it in prior reports and we’ll say it again…. find the hard bottom (reefs and wrecks) and you’ll find the Fluke near by. The McAllister area, Hempstead Reef, Atlatinc Beach Reef, the Stone Barge and the Iberia have all been producing some great Fluke action.

In the bays, the keepers are a little harder to come by, but they are there! The West side of Merrick bay, Black Banks, the North East side of the Big Meadowbrook and Rowboat Alley have been very active but we’ve also heard of a few fish on the very south end of Swift Creek.

Richie “Crazy Legs” fished the south side of the Hempstead Reef, for 12 keepers to 5 plus pounds… and of coarse a pile of shorts as well. They were using the Peruvian Smelts, large strip baits and whole Squid.

“Newsday Joe” also reported his “best day of Fluking in years” from that same area a couple days ago. Again, Peruvians, Spearing and Squid did the trick for them.

Glenn, from the shop, fished around the McAllister on Tuesday for a limit of Fluke and a mess of shorts.

Ken Lanning landed a 9 lb 12oz Fluke in Jones Inlet while Bass fishing on Tuesday!

The Berkley Gulp! Swimming Mullets have been selling off the shelves as fast as we can get it. Raffaele Feniello stopped by for some gear on Monday and asked about the Gulp! products. We recommended the 4″ Swimming Mullets to him and he took some…. skeptically. BUT here is a report he e-mailed to us the following day:

“Monday 7-12-2008, outgoing tide, 12:30pm to 5:00pm by the Coast Guard Station in Jones Inlet. Bait used: Berkley Gulp Alive 4″ Swimming Mullet in Pearl White tipped with Sand Eels.

Thanks to the advice of the great crew at Causeway Bait and Tackle to turning us onto Berkley’s Gulp Alive, we had a slaughter of a day.

Thanks guys,

The Per Loro Crew
