Thats because we say what fluke?? Last good catch was when you where up. Winter flounder at 9% biomass, no fluke to speak of and now stripers are hard to find this year. And they wonder why I go sweet water fishing. [:p] Yea the blues are back and the blacks where plentiful for their short season. Hope we get some crabs this year.
