Party boats score with fluke

Yesterday was the best fluke-fishing day this season for numbers and size of fish, according to the skippers of the Frances Fleet of party boats.

"The action was hot right out of the box and it stayed that way until the engines started signaling the end of the day." they said. Among the catch were several jumbo fluke.

Mike and Tony Tilleli each caught a limit of large fluke, including six jumbos.

The hot rig was a hi-lo set-up.

Sea bass and scup are also biting along the beaches.
