Hi Nicstr, I fish mainly for Fluke (flounder), Seabass, Trigger fish, Tog or Black fish and the big drum which only come in in May thru June. We have to fish for whatever is open at the time. That would be fluke right now. Actually have a fishing trip for tomorrow. Wish me luck. Lol.. The Tuna bite has been red hot so far this year, but I haven't personally targeted those. But know people who do. I can understand your situation with your mom. We have a similar one, only taking care of her brother. We do what we have to I guess. You take care, and it's been good talking to you! Good luck, and tight lines!
