I’ve heard it at least a dozen times the past few days from anglers working the flats and channel edges in the likes of mid-to-lower Barnegat Bay, Great Bay, Great Egg Harbor Bay and down the ICW through Stone Harbor, the diminutive Gulp! crustacean is scoring smashes, thrashes and hits on the fluke.
In what is a great follow-up to last Saturday’s sea bass opener, the summer flounder (fluke) season kicks off tomorrow and will run through September 19.
