Another tanker first thing and NO DRIFT for a couple of hours but he guys worked hard and managed some keepers. Went elsewhere and managed some more keepers to finish the day.
Dennis Coleman, Short Hills, NJ, had several keepers up to 7 pounds 8 ounces. Dennis O'Brien, South Bound Brook, had a 10 pound 5 ounce beauty which is his second doormat of the season already!
Good conditions all day for where we have been fishing and had good action on most drifts throughout the day with a lot of 3-6 pound fish in the mix and a number of limits around the boat. Bob Genung, Lake Shawnee, NJ and his friend combined for nine quality fish up to 6 pounds 4 ounces.
Steve Smith, Guttanberg, NJ, ended up with several keepers including a pair weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces and 7 pounds 1 ounce!Lisa Gormley, Uniondale, Pa., got a nice 6 pound 7 ounce fish just before we left to come home.
06 21 16 The area we had been fishing recently was no good this morning as a proccession of tankers came through and killed the fishing for a good while. Looked around other areas and found a few fish everywhere but not enough to keep us anywhere.
Worked the engines to get any kind of movement where we have been fishing lately and managed a few nice fish but nowhere near enough for the nice gang of EBII fishermen. Finished the last part of the day in Sandy Hook Bay where we finally got some movement but found mostly shorts.
The fish bit again until the tide changed and we lost the drift for the last part of the day. Kevin Buselmeier, Staten Island, NY, took the p ool with a 6 pound 2 ounce fish.
Jim Page, Interlaken, NJ, took the pool with a 10 pound 11 ounce fish which is our SECOND DOORMAT OF THE SEASON. Dennin Yoo, Little Ferry, NJ, JUST missed out on a fish of doormat status himself with a 9 pound 12 ounce fish of his own!!
John Porada, Pompton Lakes, NJ, had four keepers which included the 5 pound pool fish. Nelson Mendoza, Kinellon, NJ, had his best day of the season so far keeping his limit from 10 legal fish.
