Report:
I fished both trips again today and the fishing was tough to say the least. The west wind was persistant creating a fast drift with the ebb in the AM and wind vs. tide in the PM. We tried to fish the edge of the Reach knowing that the channel itself would be way to fast, but the drift on the edge proved worthless also. Seeking better drifting conditions Rob decided to try shallow water instead and headed over to the Belford flats. A slow pick developed of shorts with a few keepers mixed in. I totaled 19 fluke for the day with 2 of those fish being keepers of over 19" each. All of my fish fell to a Spro/Gulp combo. The boat had @15 keepers total for both trips. Tight Lines! TINKNOCKER
