Captain Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeBlasio were busy on Thursday with Capt. Phil taking the morning charter with Paul Schaa and mate Ryan DiBaggio left the inlet at 5am and started off in the morning on a good bite up by Long Branch after catching bunker down by Manasquan. The bite slowed after about 8:30 and then not much happened until they got a call of a bite off of Sea Girt from Paul on the Bounty Hunter and as soon as they got there they had a mad dog bite with even the bunkers we were snagging being attacked before getting them back to the boat. The ended the day with well over 20 stripers keeping their limit and letting them go.

In the afternoon trip Capt. DeBlasio and Ryan DiBaggio took Lane Lehroff and Leo Decker charter out for a little late day action and after getting bait off the morning trip and catching some more they immediately got into fish and had them biting for most of the late afternoon. Actually catching all the bites was tough thought but they did end up with 12 stripers in a short trip missing about 20.
