When we got out on Saturday morning there was a big roll and it shut down the fishing as we only caught a few shorts and a keeper fluke at the end of the morning to settle the pool. Cancelled the afternoon wit the impending weather and forecast. Sunday we had hard northwest winds to lay down the sea and we picked much better, with shorts and keepers around the boat. Father Poppy and son Seth each got a keeper again. Ken took the pool in the morning and Paul took it in the afternoon again. Rest of this week looks good so come on down. Here are some pics, sorry about the color, setting was changed. Thanks for looking in.

Fri 9/6 Old guys rule - a show - Not sailng Sat PM
The fishing(catching ) was not as good as the last two days as there was a big roll and therefore more boats fishing in our area. Not sure if it was due to the roll or the pressure of more boats or did they just move. We did pick shorts and some nice fish with 91 year old Smiley taking the pool in the morning as did 87 yr old Poppy the day before. Gary, only 71 took it in the afternoon with a 5 lber, most of the pool winners have been in the 4- 5 lb range. We also had the pleasure of watching the USS New Jersey submarine come by us on way to Earl Ammo pier. Took pics with my phone but not the boat camera, and also lost the pics from the AM trip. Not sailing This afternoon with the forecast of rain and t storms as not enough will show up. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics including Poppy's pool fish of Thurs first.

Thurs 9/5 Another good one with limits
We had another good morning with Jeff Goodman catching his limit of keeper fluke, as did 87 yr old Brian (Poppy) Gusman. Teacher Ed Christensen took the pool with his beauty in the morning but old Poppy came back out to take it in the afternoon, forgot his picture. Other than small boats we have been lucky having the area to ourselves but the weather brought in other boats that usually fish offshore as the ocean got too rough. On the afternoon trip, the drift was slow and rolly with wind against the tide but we did find another small pocked of fish that put a few more keeper fluke in the boat along with some short action, Kathy being high hook with 2. Back at ti today, Friday but Saturday's afternoon trip MAY be cancelled with the rain coming. Thanks for looking in and here are pics of some of the keepers.

Wild Weds 9/4 Good fishing
When fishermen get limits on a half day trip, I consider it good fishing. On the morning trip Chris got his limit (3) while Wille took the pool with one of his two keeper fluke and came back out in the afternoon to get 2 more keepers. Gary also got two on the morning trip and came back out to catch 2 more keepers although the limit is per day not trip. Paul got his limit on the afternoon trip and took the pool but teacher Bob was high hook with 4 keeper fluke that he took his limit out of although there is not pic of him on the board. Still sailing two trips everyday @ 8 AM and again @ 1:30 PM. Thanks for looking in and here are pics of some of the keeper fluke.

Tues 9/3 Welcome back Jerry, last report was thru Monday
My last post was through Monday although I said weekend report, the holiday messed me up. Today we started off with a nice drift until the tide slowed and changed. Picked away at short fluke and a couple of keepers on the first drift. Then I had to work at giving us a drift and keeping the boat straight. Put a few more keepers in the boat but Jerry Mahoney took the pool with the first keeper caught, almost 5 lbs. On the afternoon trip the same thing. When conditions got right we caught fish. Todd took the pool with a 4.5 lb beauty, and teacher Ed got his two, the weather was quite nice. Back at it tomorrow so hope to see you on the boat. Thanks for looking and here are some pics.
Rest of weekend pics
Here are the rest of the pics of some of the keeper fluke caught over the weekend. Still sailing 2 trips every day for now.
