8/6/2008 \| Andrew Raggio Inshore \| Fluke Looks like Saturday should be red hot!! Went out yest afternoon with my son to do a little exploring. Drew had a 5 lb fish that was his first keeper and a 2 lb seabass. Dad had a 5+ lb Fluke too thanks to the drift that Froehlich put us on. We had a ton of smaller fish. Marked alot of bait too. Kevin is internet challenged so i will tell you all he caught a 10+ lb fluke that measured like 29 inches!!! Kevin also had an 11+ and a 14+ lb weakfish last week!! Don't get too cozy Ramos and Galasso, Froehlich is moving up the standings quickly. Should be a great day saturday, see you all there. Location: tell you sunday

8/5/2008 \| Philip Arena Inshore \| Fluke Did a "pre-tournament" trip to the Reef on Sunday since reports had come in the past few days that larger fish had moved into the area. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and we actually had some keepers to put in the box. I fished with my father, uncle, and a friend, and managed 6 keepers, many shorts, and 1 keeper seabass. My uncle caught the first keeper of the day on the first drift, and it was the largest of the day, weighing in at 8.6 pounds. What a beauty! Too bad it was a week early. All fish were caught on fluke belly/spearing or Peruvian combos. I hope these fish stick around for this weekend. Location: FI Reef
