Weekend report

    We had a very good turnout on Saturday morning and knew it would be quite a job to catch enough fish for  the crowd.  We did manage catch shorts and keepers despite (again) the wind against tide situation. For example John Doll caught 4 keepers for high hook and  and several others had one or two keepers and decent short action. The afternoon the opposite conditions with wind and tide together it got too fast but was still ok fishing. Sunday the same conditions but very few keepers in the morning but ending with a good afternoon bite as the conditions were favorable. In fact someone called in the morning to ask how the fishing was and I told him not good but should be better in the afternoon

, but they never showed up. Here are some pics.

Tues to Friday 8/15

  

After Monday's good fishing we had a storm that night with a lot of rain which knocked out the fishing until Friday morning.  Finally the fish started to cooperate and we picked away despite a slow wind against tide drift. Pat Lamb got the first keeper and another beauty later on. Karissa De Santis though, was high hook and pool winner with three nice fish. Other keepers and a decent pick of shorts around the boat made it sa nice morning. The afternoon the wind combined with the current to make the drift a little too fast. We did still catch fish better than we did Tues through Thurs. Hopefully the fishing will hold up now and hope to see you soon. Here are a few pics including a young lady who would have been the pool winner the other day had she been in it.

Monday 8/11 Big fish 9 lb 6 oz

     Another nice day so we headed back to where we had fish the day before. Started out with a very slow drift, change of tide, but then started  moving out but the opposite wind also picked up. We did get one good drift in before the wind stopped us. It was enough to give us a good catch including a 9 lb 6 oz doormat  by Woody Harmon of Middletown who also had two other keepers. On the afternoon trip we started in the bay waiting for tide to change and caught a few keeprs and numerous shorts before heading out to the morning area. Picked away on one long drift and boated another beauty of 6 lb 9 oz by Greg Gibbs of Clifton.  Here are some pics  and it looks like this morning will be ok but not sure if there will be a turn out for the afternoon with the forecast.

Sunday 8/10 good finish

     Another beautiful day on the water with light wind that did not hurt the drift that much. Fished where we had good fishing the past 2 days but only had a slow pick but ended up ok. Q. Tiep of Piscataway  took the pool with one of his two 5 1/2 lbers and  a few others took home a fish or two with fair short action. The afternoon started slow as we waited for the tide to change in our favor.  We found an area with some fish and on the last two drifts put a very nice catch together. Jared Goldy did his thing to catch his limit of 5 and Duane Plue had 3 ks to 5 3/4 lbs. Malik Cisson, though, got the 6 lb pool fish with one of his 2 he caught. Conditions look good for this afternoon so hope to see you. Here are some pics.

Sat 8/9

     We had another good morning boating almost 40 keepers again, most of them on the first drift. We then got surrounded and the area got cleaned up. Jared Goldy took the pool with a 7 1/2 lber and had 2 other keepers. So busy we didn't get any pics. On the afternoon run we know it would be tough one but we did manage some nice keepers but not the numbers like the morning. Kieth Danis with his 7 3/4 lber and a 5 lber went home very happy as did Roger Lee taking home a couple of keepers including  the pool winner of 6 lbs. I did not mention that on Friday, Kieth and Sarah Hazuda took the pool and combined for 5 keepers. Hope to see you soon.
