7/9:  Had the Tom Rizzo charter on today for a mixed bag bluefish-bottom-fluke trip...Started out chasing the taylor blues just outside our inlet and jigged up about a dozen with 1 double header coming by Heather. After we finished up w that we headed south to do some bottom fishing. A lot of nice chunk 2-3# ling and a few seabass were in the mix.

Next it was onto fluking to finish up the day. Made 2 drops on the deep rocks and 2 in on the beach. Both produced a slow pick, but we were able to pick 4 keepers out of the shorts. Frank dropped a nice 4-5 # fish just before it got to the net.  Overall a good day action wise - we wound up with around 25 ling, a few seabass, a dozen small blues and the keeper fluke. Great crew - they will be back this fall to chase the gators and albies.

7/8:  FTYP trip today with Limestone Larry, Jon, Chris"OD", Rob, Fred and PA Pete... Decided to stay closer to home with the bad weather on its way and we had a solid day... Fished some rockpiles and wreck edges S of our inlet and had a slow but steady pick of short fluke and seabass, a healthy mix of keepers and ling on the bucktails and teasers.

It was an all day grind but by the end of the day we boxed 12 keeper fluke to just under 5#, 16 ling, and 6 seabass. Larry took the big fish @ 4.85 #, and Fred was HH w 5 keepers. Great crew, lots of laughs and chop busting all day long- rain held off till we got back to the dock! Thanks for coming down guys!!
