Saturday June 18th.
Went to the Middle Grounds with my Daughter and her boyfriend to try our hand at some fluke. We got there after the tide had turned to an outgoing tide. The wind and the tide were fighting each other so we had about a .9 knot drift. Beth and Matt were using 1 1/2 ounce red and white buck-tails with a 3 inch root beer colored Gulp shrimp attached. I was using a 1 1/2 ounce weight on a flounder rig with a minnow.
The Gulp produced 4 fluke three just under keeper size and one 19 1/2 inches. My minnows produced just one good bite that got off before I could see it.
After about and hour and a half the wind and the tide combo had the drift down to nothing and we stopped getting and action. So we went home back to Beach haven West.
