6/25/2010: Striped Bass, Fluke, and Dolphins

Today was an overall great day on the water. We fished the bunker schools and caught 6 striped bass total in 2 hours. The pool fish was 31 lbs, but we also had another 30 pounder, a 28 pounder, and a few smaller 20 pound fish. When the striper fishing slowed down we headed inshore to do a little fluking. On the way in, a pod of dolphins popped up right in front of us. They were surfacing and jumping everywhere, they even came within 15 feet of the boat. It was an amazing show. As far as the fluke bite went, we got one keeper fluke within 30 mins of fishing and over 20 shorts.
