Recreation: A fishing we will go...

One of the best parts about living in Rhode Island is the access to some of the best fishing in the world. In my opinion, it is (or should be) as much of a destination fishing spot as any other place. State fishing pride aside, I managed to get out fishing in a rented boat for some fluke (summer flounder) this past week. It was a fantastic outing with basically non-stop action of black sea bass and fluke. The black sea bass season is still closed until July 2nd, but it still kept the trip sporty instead of a slog. We managed an 18.25" fluke and a (my personal best) 26" fluke. Here are some photos:

Are your fishing trips usually this exciting, or was this one more of a... fluke?

(Sorry, but I kinda had to!)

You're lucky I like puns! :) For what it's worth, the reason they are called fluke is because their eyes are on the opposite side from every other flat fish. Ha, ha! Pun defeated with facts!
