Nice weather and mixed bag fishing once again today! Made three drops on the day and had the porgies on each for the guys who wanted them along with mixed size seabass and an easy boat limit of nice sized blackfish up to 6 pounds. We had our first ling of the season today. The inshore water is starting to cool down as the spiny dogfish have made their presence known the past week or so but have not been a problem on the clam baits--yet. Tom Hollywood, Sr., Staten Island, NY, took the pool with a 6 pound tog.
