Capt. Bob on the Gambler said they’ve switched over to their 3/4-day fluke schedule, running through Saturday, September 19. The fluke fishing has been a little picky, but the keepers coming over the rails have been quality September fish. There are still plenty of shorts around, along with some nice sea bass mixed into the catch. Garrett kicked off September’s Monthly Pool with a beautiful 7.9-pound flattie! Night fishing this past week produced some impressive catches of bluefish and ling. In fact, many of the ling were getting chased by bluefish on the way up, making for some pretty exciting trips!

Capt. Bob on the Gambler said fluke fishing is still going strong! This week continued to produce consistent action, with rods bending throughout the day on plenty of short fluke, sea bass, and some quality keepers. Quite a few limits have come over the rails, while many anglers are heading home with one or two keepers in the cooler. The summer season may be winding down, but the fluke bite remains hot! Night Wreckin’ trips also produced some quality catches this week, with nicer ling moving onto the grounds and filling coolers. The high hooks have been putting together impressive catches, with 30-plus ling landed on the best trips. Sea bass are still showing up at night, while the bluefish have been a little finicky. The crew continues to put plenty of chum in the water in hopes of getting the blues fired up and chewing.
