Wed June 3 – 2 Day Deep Tile/ 1 Day of Nantucket Fluke

Captain Steven Sr. reports an excellent offshore Tilefish and Fluke trip. On the first day, our crew set sail for the Tilefish grounds and found plenty of action. Our crew reeled in lots of quality Tilefish, Pollock, and several Barrelfish throughout the day. Fishing improved even more on the second day. We were absolutely hammered by Dogfish at first, but later we managed an excellent catch, finishing the day with a great pick of Tilefish. On the third day, we targeted Fluke off the shores of Nantucket. The action started off slow, but the bite steadily improved as the day went on. We wrapped up the trip with plenty of jumbo Fluke coming over the rails. Congratulations to our pool winners: Steve Scabapico took home the Fluke Pool with a 9.8-pound Fluke, Jake Rypkema won the Edible Pool with an 18-pound Barrelfish, and David Jurich won the Tilefish Pool with an impressive 35.6-pound Tilefish. A great trip all around, with excellent catches and plenty of action from start to finish.
