Sun 10-9: Had a half day trip today with Socks, Ryan H, Chris W, and Pat Sr and Jr. Original plan was to fish for blackfish close to home. Made 2 drops on our reef and caught a total of 1 short tog and a few seabass on the crabs. It was horrible.  With a flat calm ocean we ran north and made another drop in the LB area, and got a few real short tog. S current was running and we weren't catching much, so we ran further up the beach where we had the tog and porgies yesterday.
Got set up on a piece by ourselves and got into a few tog, as well as a nice steady pick of mixed sized porgies. The porgy bite was pretty good for a while so everyone switched over and we put some meat in the box. Most of the guys boated at least 10 porgies and I even dropped a rig down for a while and boated a dozen. Dropped quite a few too.
Had to be in @ 12 today so we called it a day early, but boated somewhere between 60-75 porgies and a few tog, with just 1 keeper. Some of the porgies were real jumbos, while we had quite a few smaller ones today with a good amount of shorts going back. Good day w/ a great crew!! Sat 10-8: Had Mark K charter the boat today for a mixed bag trip. Ran out the inlet and north and found birfs working just N of the inlet - found bluefish and small weakfish under the birds on 007 jigs and teasers. Some real small weakfish no keepers and biggest blues were 1-2#.
We then Continued N and found some more birds and way too many boats @ the rocks - found loads of 4-7# bluefish but no bass... Jigged a bunch of them and kept 1 for the guys for the grill. We then went a bit further north and made a few drops for porgies and tog and found an ok bite on both - easily limited on tog to just 16" and added some nice chops to 2# as well as several out of season would-be keeper seabass.
Only did that for a couple hours then went back to find a bass - no luck on the troll or on the jigs just more bluefish. Overall a good day lots of action for a great crew!! ÂÂ
