Good going Joe, so thats what they look like...

Nice fish Joe, What did they weigh?

Thanks guys. 5.42 and 3.48 pounds. Was good to finally have fluke coming over the rails first instead of sea bass and ling. Actually had no ling this trip but did have a couple of bergals.

Sweet fish Joe! I guess there ARE keeper fluke out there...

nice fish joe. i got 4 keepers in that same spot i've been fishing. monday 8/3. no monsters like yours but keepers. they ate 3 bags of chartreuse swimming mullets on me. that bait is magic.

Nice Job Mr. Joe!

Great chatch Joe, I was out there yesterday also. My father came along for the ride. we had three keepers and two real nice sea bass. I was working the very south end of the reef. Where were you?

We were a little NW of the center.

Nice job Joe !! Your usual home made bucktail jig with the teaser?

Yes on the bucktail...no teaser though. Was just using a tap dancer rig. I was using a 2 ounce bucktail in chartreuse and white and the other guys were using either all white bucktails or chart/white or white ball jigs on tap dancer rigs.

Joe...what exactly is a "tap dancer" rig?

Main line connects to a swivel, from there you have a 4-10" dropper (I usually use 4"-6") to which you attach your bucktail or ball jig, also attached to swivel is a 24"-48" leader with your choice of hook (I go shorter inside and longer outside, bigger the bait the longer I go outside). I use either a 3/0 or 5/0 baitholder hook. You can use a small 3-way swivel (what I use most of the time) or a barrel swivel.

On the bucktail I use either Gulp shrimp, jerk shads, spearing or peanut bunker. On the plain hook either spearing, peanuts, whole squid or squid head.

I will tie one up and take a picture and post it up later.

Thanks....a picture will really help.

Posted a pic of the rig below...
