Long Island Sound Gathering?

[Bryan A.]

Last year I tried to get a CT gathering going and there was some interest but it didn't pan out. I'm just throwing this out to see who is interested but we should start talking about an LIS gathering. It seems there are plenty of new guys from the area so what do you think?

Last year we were going to meet at Duck Island, which is fairly central to the eastern side, and do a small fluke tournament. Lets plan something that will get the most boats and people. Here is some inspiration for that....



This is not meant to take away from the Newport gathering, when is that going to be this year? I have missed it twice now, maybe I can get there this year, hopefully.

Here are the old posts.

John R-

That sounds good too, lets plan a few events. I still would like to get some of the guys up from the Wester side of the sound. Open to all suggestions.

I'd be in if it were not too far. I've got a trailer, but would rather cruise.I'm coming from Mt. Sinai (Port. Jeff area) in NY.
Incidentally, the fluking has been beyond red hot during the end of june the last few years right outside our harbors. I won't say it lasted a whole long time, but it was as good as it gets when it was on.

I hear ya on the June bite. Last year we called it "Flukin in June" but it never happened.
