The shipping traffic and lack of drift most of the day did not help us but we used the engines and the guys worked the baits and bucktails spros hard all day and put together a nice catch of quality fish. Everyone went home with fish today.
Craig Betron, Wayne, NJ, took the pool with an 8 pound 4 ounce fish. Sal Funicalla, East Hanover, NJ, had several keepers including a nice 7 pound 7 ounce runner up.
It took a bit for the bite to turn back on but once it did we had very nice fishing on every drift for the remainder of the day. Ended up with a few limits and a bunch of guys with three or four nice fish each.
We managed a very nice showing of quality sized fish on the first couple of drifts. The wind started to howl and forced us back into our bay with the entire fleet where we found very slow fishing with just a couple of fish a drift for the rest of the day.
Lots of boat traffic today did not bother the fish with many quality keepers and quite a few between 6 and 7 pounds. I got pictures of the gallery fish and a few of the limits but netting and fileting were 1 priority today!!
06 10 16 Way too much wind against the tide the past couple of days to fish where we had very good fishing a few days ago. We were forced to fish along the beach in the ocean and although we had some nice sized fish we were not happy with the fishing that we found.
That was unfortunate since the small group that showed up was treated to another good day of fluking. No rain until we were almost ready to come home so most missed a nice day on the water.
A few of the guys with easy limits were Tom Hollywood, Sr., Staten Island, NY, Tom Formisano, Bellmawr, NJ, Dave Brink, Middletown, NJ, and Brad Weaver, Bound Brook, NJ. Tom Hollywood, Jr., Staten Island, NY, just missed the pool with a 7 pound 14 ounce fish of his own.
