Capt. Rob Semkewyc had a decent catch of bass up to a 34-incher and blues on his Sea Hunter from Atlantic Highlands in the bay Wednesday morning, but it was slower Thursday.

    Actually, Santee had a pick of keeper and short bass plus blues until the change of tide brought cold fresh waters from yesterday's rains down -- and the action shut off on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands. Also from that port, Capt. Rob Semkewyc didn't expect much in discolored waters -- but was surprised to get a pick of blues plus a 30-inch bass and a couple of shorts on his Sea Hunter.
