After nearly two weeks of superior fishing we finally had a tough day on the fluke grounds! Terrible conditions with wind against tide most of the day and ZERO DRIFT FOR HOURS. Worked the engines to get any kind of movement where we have been fishing lately and managed a few nice fish but nowhere near enough for the nice gang of EBII fishermen. Finished the last part of the day in Sandy Hook Bay where we finally got some movement but found mostly shorts. High hook had three keepers. Don Wetzel, Riverdale, NJ, took the pool with a nice 7 pound 1 ounce fish. Any area head boats that would try to claim that today's fishing was anywhere near good would just be spraying air freshener on a dirty diaper. Looking forward to getting back to the good fishing again tomorrow with a better drift. See you in the morning.
