|  Flukin' in Westbrook Maggie a friend and I got out today for some flukin'. Hit Westbrook at the beginning of the outgoing tide. Fished 60 - 68' of water, using squid strips and mummies(kellies) for bait. Maggie picked up a nice 20 1/2" on the first drift. Then she got a 24 a couple drifts later. I finally scored a bit later with a 22" followed by a 24" and 25". Not to be outdone  Maggie get a 25". I got one more a 16" only short for the trip.We felt bad as my back was sore and we told our guest "last drift". The last 50' of that last drift he was de-skunked with 19". Eight fluke total 7 keepers and 1 short plus 2 bluefish 3 and 5 lbs. Back in and to the filet table. Putting them away in our new freezer for winter.  We had a great time together out there and catching some nice fish was a bonus!

| Keeper to short ratio was very good this trip...most other trips have been the reverse at about 8:1 shorts. Netboy...yes that would be me LOL. Fluke is open through 9/05 this year so not many days left.
