DANIELLE & DENNIS O'BRIEN RULE DAY WITH DOUBLE DOORMATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, after boating another doormat yesterday we could not have been happier to have boated NOT ONE BUT TWO MORE (#4 & #5) TODAY!!! Fishing started with just a pick this morning with a tanker coming through and no drift at all for a big part of the morning. The guys worked hard to put some big fish in the boat. Around mid day the breeze kicked up and gave us the movement we needed. The bite improved until it was time to come home with catches ranging up to a limit for Mike Snyder, Highlands, NJ. An okay day overall just not the red hot fishing we have been experiencing lately. We will still take it! John Panvini. Philadelphia, Pa, ended with several keepers to up to 6 pounds 1 ounce. Louis Micieli, Haledon, NJ, had fish up to 7 pounds 10 ounces. Dennis Coleman, Short Hills, NJ, had several keepers up to 7 pounds 8 ounces. The highlight of the day, BY FAR, came when two members of the same family boated doormats!! Dennis O'Brien, South Bound Brook, had a 10 pound 5 ounce beauty which is his second doormat of the season already! His daughter, Danielle, took family bragging rights for now, however, with the 13 pound 1 ounce MEGA-MATshe caught first thing this morning. Hers is the largest fluke ever caught aboard the EB II by a lady fisher and our THIRD LARGEST FLUKE EVER right behind a 13 pound 2 ounce fish caught by Dennis a couple of seasons ago!! Congratulations to the O'Brien's!! Starting our search for "Matty #6" tomorrow. See you in the morning.
