Father's Day Weekend
Fished the LE Reef on Saturday with Tom Mulvanney from the State Police. There has been some excellent fluke fishing in the bay but we decided to head off to the reef sites and see if we could stir up some action since the water temperature had increased sharply in the last week. Sure enough, the fluke and sea bass were were waiting for us and we managed to put some nice size keeper fluke and sea bass in the box with many throw backs.
On Father's Day Sunday I had the Dixon group down from Forked River. Tom Dixon's wife treated the group to a nice Father's Day gift. The weather wasn't so nice to us on this day. We had showers off and on and there was no drift due to the lack of wind. The seas were dead calm which is nice for cruising but not so nice for fishing. We managed to put some keepers in the box and they were able to get enough fish for a Father's Day dinner. Thrill of the day for the group was a large Spiny Dogfish who managed to whip me with his horn while I was holding him up for photos. Serves me right!
