We started the week on Monday with Jim "Smitty" Smith bringing Janna Moore and his son Mike out, the trip highlighted by Mike landing a mid-twenties linesider that was also his first ever striped bass. Team Smitty returned for a rematch on Tuesday that resulted in personal bests for all three, with Smitty and Mike both besting 40 pounds and Janna topping 35. David Volk was up from Florida on Friday with a local buddy Tom Majesky, with Tom's 38 pound fish of a lifetime leading the way. Friday we opted to stay inside with Charlie Bedaro, who brought friends Theresa, Gerry and Erin out to celebrate Erin's birthday. Non-stop bluefish action made it difficult to get to the bass with baits being inhaled by 3-9 pound blues as soon as they hit the water, but five were boated topped by birthday girl Erin's 31" fish. All-in-all a pretty good week.
