The late May flounder fishing visit to Boston Harbor was a real eye opener. Guest Pete Santini, owner of Fishing Finatics (creator of the Santini Tube Lure), was right on the money when he described the great comeback that the flounder and cod have made in the harbor. Despite sometimes breezy conditions the action never stopped and the guys caught over 30 flounder to 4lbs with several over 2lbs. Nearly every fish was of legal size. They also had cod mixed in up to 10 lbs. At the end of the day, they put the cameras and Flounder gear away and took a short run to a nearby cod spot and jigged up several solid cod up to 40lbs.
“Pete Santini walked up to us and introduced himself at the Rhode Island Boat Show. He told us he had a great winter flounder bite. He seemed to be quite a character and once we really got to know him, we realized he was one of the most amazing guys you could ever fish with! We are very close friends to this day.” Capt Andy LoCascio
