Wednesday night's highlight was the short bite. First trip in awhile that we found life and action. 95 %were short, but rods were bending. Roger Johnson from Roselle won the pool.
Wednesday night saw great action provided by shorts and 7 keepers for the 4 hour trip. It was ice to put a few flatties on ice for a change.
Friday Open boat trip saw good action at the start of the trip until we lost conditions. The rest of the day was a struggle. Johnny Pie from West NY, NJ, won the pool.
The Pete Tierney Memorial trip enjoyed some good action close to home with a keeper in the mix and then we sailed the ocean blue. Results were a few more keeper fluke and 2 dozen sea bass. Ryan Vrindten from Warren won the pool.
Magic Hours 7/17 Early short bite was ok with most of our fish landed in the first three drits. Jack Andersen from East Brunswick won the pool. Fishing was good the first three drifts as far as actions goes. The second wave of the storms rolled through putting an end to the bite.

Well the struggle continues since the full moon. Fishing has been slow with conditions being less than ideal. American Legion Post 248 held ther Annual Fund Raiser for Kids with Down Syndrome, fishing was slow but the fund raising goals were reached with the support of everyone involved. A big thank you to everyone. Sat night magic hours was again hampered by bad conditions plenty of south wind with a ripping tide just made things difficult. Chris Shukis won the pool and took the lead in the masters with a 4 lb fluke. We had the bayview Rod and Gun abourd for their annual Fluke trip. I wish I could say things turned around but fishing remained tough. The Szeszko family put on a clinic landing the majority of the boats keepers. Tom took the pool with a 3.5 pound fluke beating out his sister in-law Debbie. Sunday night Magic hours saw few more keepers but not many shorts. Tajah Fields won the pool.
