Weds 7/22 and Thurs 7/23 Did it again to 6.5 lbs

      On Weds the forecast chased some people but it was not a bad day. Had to fish the bay, like the other all day ocean boats but you can't fight mother nature, it is what it is. We had good action with the short fluke but only a few keepers on both trips. Today we went back to where we had good fishing on Tues and hoping for the best with a big group of people. Scored again with a good amount of keepers to 6.5 lbs, by Ed whose kid is holding the fish, (red shirt with hot dog hat),  no worries, not in the big pools, and a lot of shorts. Jeff and Adam got their ORL (4) and Russ got his limit. A few twos and singles around the boat.  Unfortunately if conditions are not right it does not happen. Thankfully today it did work out. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics with Wed's pics at at the end. 

 

7/21 Tiger Tues & Stan Jr, Elaine B II day, Sailing Weds.

      The weather man was WRONG again with the forecast although the marine weather was right with the strong south winds, but no rain during the trip. Maybe Stan Jr was looking down on his group with the 5th annual Stan Zagleski Jr memorial fishing trip. Therefore we could not fish the ocean so we made due in the bay, BIG time. Picking away at short fluke and a keeper on the first two drifts, we then decided to try another area with intel from a friend that paid off. It was small area but held a lot of fish. Turned out to be one of the best trips of the year as Maria who accompanied her husband Jimmy for her first party boat trip, got the first keeper and eventually her limit and the pool fish. Beginners luck ? Charles and Charlie were both tied with high hook of 4 ORL , Several with their 3 fish limit, like " 89 yr old Poppy" back again form yesterday, along with some 2s and singles. And yes sailing tomorrow, Weds for our two half day trips @ 8 AM and 1:30 PM. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics, too many I told Mike.

 

 

7/20 Just another manic Monday, Sailing tomorrow, Tues

      A couple of boats had marathons but for some reason the people showed up and we had a nice big group of mostly regulars including 89 yr old "poppy". Beautiful day on the water and the people fished hard and were rewarded. Good action with the short fluke and good amount of keepers in the mix, unfortunately we missed a few at the net when we got there too late. Keep the line tight by swimming the fish in a circle without lifting it's head out of the water and you will have a better chance of getting it netted and into the boat. We fished sticky bottom so a stiffer rod helps to bounce it out, can't do it with a noodle rod, although you may like using it. Be prepared to lose rigs and have some tied up to save time. We are sailing tomorrow, Tues, despite the forecast, as we have people coming down. Thanks for looking in and here are  pics of some of the keepers.
