ONCE UPON A SUMMER FLOUNDER

From 1955 to 1969, I engaged in fishing the waters of Long Island. My favorite fish to catch was FLUKE(Summer Flounder). The largest one I ever caught was 7 l/2 pounds. I also caught a 6 and a 4 l/4 pound fish and many other smaller sizes. My father caught a 5 pounder. I lost one that I estimate to be between 10 and 15 pounds. I also believe I once had a bite from one perhaps as large as 20 pounds. I caught other species as well.

MY FISH STORIES SUPPORTED BY MY OWN PICTURES






This was the first time that I worked a scanner program on another computer. I was able to load them on a 2MB floppy and transfer it onto my computer. I used photosuite 3 to crop to save space and expediate uploading.

The pictures represent: my father holding my brothers 4 l/4 pound snowshoe flounder, I am 12 years old holding my 7 l/2 pound doormat fluke, I am holding a 5 lb. plus tea wreck blackfish, my friend Richard M. holding a Montauk sea flounder, a picture taken,developed and printed by my brother of the 6 and 5 pound doormat fluke that me and my father caught, the front of my glastron boat, and finally a bushell basket full of flounders caught off Gardiners Island not far from 3 mile harbor(camera was a WERRA with a tessar lens-it took great pictures)

Hi, Did you know that now the size limit on fluke on Long Island, is 18 inches? My husband and I caught two that were 17" and had to throw them back. It broke my heart.

Thanks for the comments on my site, Long Island Woman. You have a nice site here with your fish stories. I just love fishing where on live, Long Island.
