8/31/08 Flat Attack!
Mike and I filmed another show today. We've been waiting for the weather to get right for some nearshore jigging for flounder. Well, today turned out to be perfect. We left the dock around 7am with my father, Tom Cronk, and Dr. Jack Cole onboard. We picked up a livewell full of pogies incase we needed some live bait. Jack and Dad dropped back a couple of light lines while Mike and I tied the flounder rigs. In less than 15min. they had 8 hookups and boated 5 Spanish/kings and then we went searching for flatties. We fished hard covering bottoms from the beach out 4miles and found a few flounder scattered. About 1pm we got on an awsome knot of fish and worked it for almost an hour before heading to the dock. Our tally for the day was 26 flounder with 16 Keepers, most were 2.5 to 3lbs. We also released about 50 seabass and kept 3 from 12.5 to 13in. and 1 nice Triggerfish. Should be a great show! Lots of footage! Great job today Jack and Dad....oh, you did pretty good too Mike... ha ha... atleast Mike didn't get big one Jack. Jack's big fish today was about 4.5lbs.
