James Joseph II (631-651-8235) : Capt. James Schneider reports fluking has had its moments. Thursday they had seven anglers and plenty of keepers. The afternoon trip had good fishing in Lloyds and a few weakfish mixed in too. Friday’s morning action was the best bite of the week in excellent fluking and limits almost around the boat with a 9 pounder caught and a real good consistent bite with many keepers. Friday afternoon at 4:30 was pretty decent. A slower pick on Saturday (5/18) as they had a light crowd and some fluke to 7 pounds on the bucktails now and regular rigs as well.  A couple of limits on the boat for the sharpies.
