Striped bass

bunker heads,
when you can
get through bluefish,
"Rich E." said.

His first fluke

and it's a 25-incher,
he said. He grabbed
the fish on the bay
on a Gulp grubtail teaser.

Opening day
of summer flounder
season on the
party boat Keeper,
Margate, last weekend
on Saturday.
Visit Keeper's
Web site.

The fishing,
on the back bay,
has been good, a little
slow on a couple of
afternoons, but
not bad at all,
a report said.
A few weakfish and
blues were also
reeled aboard. Above,
a 6-pound flounder.
Visit Keeper's
Web site.

The 4-hour trips
for flounder, sailing
twice daily, are
only $25 on the
pontoon boat, because
the bay is nearby,
and the vessel
is economical on fuel.
