And the NE was hummin!! pretty ruff out there! but I was determined to get me some Fluke!! Got to Middle Ground nothing. Went on to Luacs and again not much going on. We did manage to get 10 nice fish but that was all the fish gods were willing to fork over today.
Came back with 2 to4 footers, went nice and slow. And as you can see I am home safe and sound. This new set up with the boat kicks A** !! I am so glad I did it.
Going to try again Wed. but this E wind is here till Thur they say??

Make my own rigs. They are very simple!! But they do the Job.
I use a swivel 36" of 30 to 50# floro-carbon with a Stainless 3/0 wide gap hook. Dressed with a Squid skirt and a piece of squid, or Fluke belly. With a fish finder weight can range from 2 oz to 8 oz when the tide gets going.
Maybe we can hook up sometime??
Good Luck
