Mon May 18th.

Capt Chris called me Sun night & said Art it's going to be very windy.Knowing I sail in all kind's of conditons Chris gave me the option.I said to Chris let me call my crew.Danny & Richie both said they would not want to sail in bad conditions.I called Chris Back and said Chris no go.No problem on Capt Chris part.

Tues May 19th (My 47th birthday)

Ron,Joe,Greg fished with me.

We left Viking Marina at 4:45 am.Capt Chris netted bunker and we were off to the spot.

Capt Chris anchored on a piece & within minutes we were hooked up.

Ron boated the 1st Bass and I followed.

At 7:15 am I had my Limit.

Ron also had his limit.

Joe also had 1 Keeper.

Greg was busy catching Bluefish.

The bite was short & sweet.

At 8:30 am we had 6 keepers in the box all quality Fish.

When the bite died Capt Chris took us to another spot & we started live lining.The bass were playing with the livies but we could not hook up.Chris dropped the anchor on good readings but the Bass were not chewing.Capt Chris took us to another spot & that spot was void.

At 12:30 pm we called it a day & headed back to Viking Marina.

Ron,Joe,Greg thanks for fishing with me on my 47th Birthday.
