Quality Fluke on Berkley Power Bait Shrimp Fire Island Inlet

7/26/2015

I fished today with Captain Rich Santos on his "Legend" and we caught nice fluke up to 6 pounds on a hot new bait, Berkley Power Bait Shrimp in natural coloration. It was red hot and the fish really attacked it. This is a 6 pound fish and you can see the great looking Power Bait shrimp that caught it.These baits are weighted and have a rattle so they make noise and run just above or on the bottom when rigged about a foot above a Spro Bucktail.

Another great day on the water with a great Captain, thanks Rich.

Hammerhead shark attacking 40 pound striped bass

Today with Jim, Jerry and Meilin Jerome we came across a 40 pound striped bass under attack from a hammerhead shark in 30 feet of water just south of Moses field 5. The small hammerhead had just chewed on the tail and the bass was disabled and floating on the surface. We baited the shark two times but he broke off both times. It was fun and a great sight to see.
