[Capt -Jerry P]

Sorry for late reports had some pc issues

Fishing has been solid!!!

Enjoy!!!

6/23

Had the Mike Mayerczak Charter aboard for a day of what the ocean offers.

Plan was to run back to the fluke grounds which have been producing well but.... some stripers had other plans for us.

Gave the guys the run down on the bunker fishing and that we would look on the way.

Sure enough we came across bunker being busted up by some bass.

Stopped and had a couple of personal best bass over 30lbs hooked up... Bounced around n The guys did great job with the snag and drop and made the most of the early morning bite going 6 for 8 on bass to the mid 30s!

Headed to the fluke grounds and it started off well with some keepers and lots of shorts on the first few drifts. Then the hard uncalled for east wind came on and the bite slowed... toughed it out until the drift became unbearable.

Moved a few miles and the conditions were alot nicer but we only picked a few more keepers n some shorts.

Looked for bass on the way in but they were eating again yet.

Despite the tough conditions the guys fished hard and put together a nice mixed Bag!!!

By day end the Guys boxed up 6 Stripers and 16 Keeper Fluke to 6lb!!!

Mike and crew were great and we are looking forward to having them back aboard with us!!!

Thanks again guy!!!

6/24

Had the Kevin Chapman Charter aboard for a day on the grounds.

There last bass trip was a Dud amongst all the crazy days a couple weeks back so we were hoping to show the guys a better day and mix it up if the stripers didnt cooperate.

Got out in the pea soup and had bait stacked right outside... looked good but no takers.

Moved a couple miles and seen some bunker getting pushed. Stopped and had 2 On and landed both. Thought we were in but it was not the case as we could buy another bite... Played in a Bunch of different bunker but that was the end of our bass bite.

Headed off to the fluke grounds... started the same as yesterday... 3 keepers and a bunch of shorts right away... couple more next couple of drifts... Lots of short life as well.

Then that pesky e wind came on again and with the current the drift got too fast.

Dodged a couple of t storms and bounced around in area with better conditions had plenty of bites however only a couple more keepers.

Put in some overtime hoping the bass would pop up ... but it was just acres of happy bunkers.

The guys n girls fished hard and made the most of the conditions we were dealt.

By days end the crew boxed up 2 Stripers to 36lbs and 12 Fluke to 5lbs!!!

Crew was a blast as always, looking forward to their next trip!!!

Thanks again guys!!!

Great Fluking!!!

Had our regular customer Darren take out a few coworkers from the company for a day of fluking. Only a 4 man crew today

Broke the inlet around 7 and headed to the fluke grounds... had great life as soon as the jigs hit the bottom with a ton of shorts ana bunch of nice keepers.

Had good action the next bunch of drifts with keepers coming ana load of shorts.

2 guys weren't feeling well and took a snooze so there were only 2 or 3 rodsin the water and usually one was bent over with a fluke for most the morning.

Action slowed up as the day went on for us but we still picked a few and had plenty of action!!!

Great fluking esp for june!

Great way for Darren to kick start his fluke season with ushe was high hook with double digit keepers (only taking limit)

By days end the 4 man crew boxed 26 keepers including two 6lbers.

Nice day on the water!

Thanks again guys!!!

Fluke seabass ling

Reel Ron and family aboard for a day on the water. His wife Cheryl, Daughters Sheri, Lisa, their Men Brian and Stelly rounded out todays crew.

Plan was to start local and poke around for some seabass... pieces all looked covered up but bites didnt come like it looked... ya only get a couple keepers and some shorts... few nice ling mixed in at most spots. Bounced around and put 30 Keepers a Mix of seabass in ling in the box.

Headed off to the fluke grounds when we hit a Crazy current and word from friends were 10 and 12 oz so that was out for us.

Headed inshore where we had great life lately and could barley get a bit few shorts n a Keeper. Couldnt even find decent short action was starting to lose some hair

Bounce around everywhere for only some shorts n a Stray keeper.

Found some late life on a hill and started to pick at some keepers along with a lot of shorts... Put 11 keepers in da box from here to go along with our seabass and ling n scratch out a Catch.

OFF COURSE the Women caught the most and the Biggest Sheri caught a Nice Knuckle head around 3 lbs for the big seabass!!!

By days end the Guys and Gals Boxed up 13 Keeper Fluke and 30 Bottom dwellars (seabass Ling)

Tough bite but we put together what we could and wound up with a Nice Mixed bag!

Great crew

Thanks again aguys
