Fluke Teasers, Fire Island Inlet

7/16/2012

0 Comments

What you see here is a very hot fluke teaser. It is hand tied by Vinnie Fellom and made of the best bucktail and flash material.

I used it on the fluke trip on 7/11 and it produced the biggest fluke and the biggest seabass. It obviously imitates squid and that is what the fluke are on right now in the ocean. There are lots of squid around and anything that looks like a squid is in play.

It comes in either a single or double hook version and can be used just as a teaser or can be baited with squid, spearing or whatever else you might choose. 

In addition to the squid teaser Vinnie makes all types of other teasers in various colors and configurations. If you want something special, he will tie it for you. All his teasers are available at Trophy Tackle in Babylon. You should get there soon as he can only do so many by hand and the supply is limited.

Red Hot Fire Island Fluke Bite

7/11/2012

0 Comments

 
I finished my work early today and decided to fish the top of the tide for Fluke. As soon as the rig hit the bottom I had a fish on the trailing hook. I fished just north of the bar in front of the coast guard station in the clean water and I guess a new body of fish moved inside the bay. I used Captain Al's Fluke rig tipped with chartreuse 4" swimming mullet gulp. Check out the video below to see how to tie the rig. In an hour and a half I had 20 fluke with two of them being keepers.

I fished today out of Dunewood with Jerry Jerome, his son Jimmy and Jimmy's girlfriend Mai Lin (left, right, center). 

We had a good day of fluke fishing with fish up to 6 pounds and some seabass thrown in for good luck. Geezer's Teasers worked great today.

It was Jerry's 80th birthday today and as we do most years we go fishing on his birthday.

There will be some fine eating at the Jerome's tonight.

Another memorable day on the water.

I fished today with Rich Nelson Jr. his son Jack and Jack's friend Hurst (. We had a fun day with a mixed bag of fluke and bluefish.

The fluke fishing was tough to the east of Fire Island Inlet with lots of shorts and only a couple of just keepers.

We caught some bunker and drifted them in the inlet for a bunch of bluefish and the kids had a good time with that.

Another excellent day on the water.

Striped bass fishing, Fire Island Inlet

I fished today with Gregg Weisser and his friends Rich and Bob out of Kismet.

We had a good day of fishing. It wasn't a hot fishing but we caught a couple including this 25 pound fish that Gregg is holding. This fish had a deformed tail. Looks like it happened a long time ago probably as a juvenile. 

There is plenty of bait around both east and west of the inlet but very few fish on it.

Weather was great and another excellent day on the water with a good crew.

Staying cool during the summer out on the water

7/5/2012

This past 4th of July, I must have had four people come up to me and say: "Aren't you hot in that long sleeve shirt?" I must admit until I fished with a guide down in South West Florida a few years back, I would have asked the same thing. 


In the past few years great advances have been made in technical weave polyester fabrics that allow air to flow freely through the garment while wicking moisture away from the body. This material also has added bonuses of SPF 50 protection, anti-microbial and special  treatment to resist stains.


These shirts are widely available at many sporting sites such as L.L. Bean or Columbia Sportswear. Montauk Tackle Company of Freeport N.Y. has the best selection I have seen, including shirts for women, which are manufactured right here in the U.S.A.


The first time I ventured out in to the hot sun with one of these shirts while down in Mexico, I felt as if I was not wearing a shirt at all. You will also immediately notice that you will no longer feel the heat of the sun on your skin, almost like you are in the shade.


If you want to extend you time out on the water during these hot days you have to give these new technical weave shirts a try.

Striped bass, bunker pods, Fire IslandĀ

Today I fished with Mark Epstein, Barry Schula and their friend Joe (left to right) out of Saltaire.

We had a great day of striped bass fishing on the bunker pods. Today there were fish on just about every pod. The ocean was beautiful and the fish were on the feed bag. 

We kept four fish up to 42 pounds and released a few.

There was a ton of bait both west and east of the inlet today with fish taken both ways.

It was a memorable day with lots of action and perfect conditions.

Mark having a great time as he usually does. He is cool all the time and loves to hunt for the fish just as does Barry.

We all had a great time.

I fished today with Josh Lieberman and his buddies Ramin and Patrick out of Saltaire (left to right).

Patrick is the proprietor of "Le Dock" restaurant in Fair Harbor. Great dining place and good cocktails.

We had a good day of striped bass fishing and also caught some fluke.

We worked the bunker pods but the action was not hot. We persisted and did catch a nice bass of about 30 pounds. 

Earlier in the day we fished for fluke and caught a few but mostly shorts but a couple for the table.

There was a lot of bait but not many fish on them today.

Another excellent day on the water.
