Golden Touch Fluke 7/1

I fished on the Golden Touch out of Point Pleasant with Capt. Cole for fluke on Friday. It was an open boat trip and the line up was myself, son Leif, good friend Bill, and three other fisherman, Carl, Dave and Ryan. We left the dock at 6:00am and headed north to fish the rough bottom off Long Branch and Monmouth Beach. We were busy all day catching many Fluke and a few Sea Bass. Ryan was high hook with the keepers, getting his limit on 8" cod grubs. My son Leif had many short Fluke and two nice keeper Sea Bass on his "Denali and Battle" spinning combo. Bill had four nice keepers and I had two and countless shorts. Everyone caught lots of fish and a good time was had by all.       

Catskill Father and Son Trout Trip 6/2-6/4

 My son Leif and I spent a few days in East Branch and fished the East Branch and Beaverkill. We fished Thursday night, Friday, Saturday and a little on Sunday morning. 6/2-6/4. We wound up with 3 Rainbows to 14 inches and 4 Browns to 19 inches. All fish were caught on March Browns. We enjoyed catching and releasing those beautiful fish. Leif has become quite a caster and I am proud of him. It is not easy casting for hours on end but it paid off for him with a couple nice rainbows and a brown.

A special thank you to Catskill flies for being so nice to me and my son. My son and I picked out some nice Collins capes so we could do some tying and Dennis and Ellen took care of us. Thanks for everything. Leif will enjoy using those bass flies in NJ and has a great example of the Conover fly so he can tie his own with the materials he bought.
