Weather again kept us pretty close to the dock this week, a bit frustrating when we're getting right into the prime time for trophy striped bass along the beachfront in this area. We did manage to get one bayside trip in this week with Wayne Pollack, son Joachim, and Mike Skurecki (Sr. & Jr.) putting a beating on bay 3-5 pound bluefish on light tackle poppers and swim baits. Lots of fun with steady bent rods most of the morning until we finally had enough and headed in a little early. I did get reports of a few big bass making an appearance on Friday for the guys that were trolling Maja spoons, so they are starting to show up right on schedule and all we need is for the weather to start cooperating. We're booked pretty solid for the next couple of weeks, the bunker spoons are ready to go and the big nets are aboard the boat. Time to go fishing! .
