Had regular Lew Gold out with buddies Scott and Sean. Made bait and started out livelining and got our limit quickly, took a ride to find some bigger fish with Sean leading the way with a 38 incher now in release mode

Very surprised a beautiful day and not enough to get out. The weather looks good the rest of the week and we already have enough people to go tomorrow.

However there was an unusual report of a weakfish in the surf this morning. Capt. Vinny Vetere reports many big stripers were trolled over the weekend from his Katfish out of Great Kills on TGT bunker spoons.

When my son-in-law Luis Gonzalez and I joined Bob Correll of Bay Head on his Sea Vee 32 from his new home in Hutchinson Island this morning our goal was a large snapper or grouper from some hard bottom nine miles off St Lucie Inlet. However, as Bob was bringing in a chopped off amberjack head he spotted a fish chasing the bait on Luis line and that hook-up resulted in a small sailfish tearing up the surface to break our losing streak with a release.
