I headed out today with Frank, Lisa, and Les on a sight seeing tour, just joking. We went looking for some Drum and Trout today. Frank caught a throwback Puppy Drum first thing in the morning as this was something we tried to do last year but didn't happen. It would been nice if it was just a little bigger than what it was but it was still a Drum. We left that area and made the long run back towards the inlet in search of some Trout and maybe a Flounder. We never found the Flounder we looked for, he left town. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of Flounder around right now but we were looking for one with some size to it. The Trout were biting today but just not that many of them. The ones we managed to fool had some nice size to them though. I had a great time on the water today as it was my pleasure to fish with Mr. Frank again. I'll see you guys and girls next year.

Today was a great day to be on the water as the wind was light and the heat was hot. The fishing was a little slow to start off with but it picked up as the day went along. Today I was out with John, Larry, Rennie, Bill, Doug, and Brian on an all day excursion. We started off looking for Specks but they were hiding pretty good as we were only able to pick one off here and there after a lot miles on our butts. We ended up having a nice handful of some nice sized ones by the days end though. We were able to catch another nice sized Flounder today as well. Along with those we had some nice sized Croaker and Grey Trout. The Capt. screwed up today as he lost a nice 2 1/2 to 3lber at the boat, sorry guys. We had great day on the water today and look forward to seeing you guys next year.

I fished today with Ed and his father Bill. We knew from the start it was going to be a hard day of fishing with the wind howling from the SE for the last few days. We headed to the inlet to start the day off and were able to catch some Big Croaker while Trout fishing and dodging the rain. We eventually found some nice Specks but that ended as fast as it started. We then moved on to the next hole and nothing. I then started hitting different spots that I haven't fished in awhile and it paid off big time. We caught 2 nice Speckled trout at one hole and moved on to the next only to catch a nice Puppy Drum along with 2 Fat Flounder. And then we made one last stop before heading in and were able to catch one more nice Flounder. The day started of slow but ended with a bang, we ended up with 3 Speck, 3 Flounder, and a 20" Puppy Drum.

This morning I headed out with Justin, Ashley, Cody, Steve, and Paul. We started out the morning looking for some Specks but they didn't want to play for us. We caught one on the first cast and that was it. We then headed out in search of something else. With the wind blowing we were limited in our options so we started bottom fishing and Flounder fishing. We chad no luck on the Flounder but we found some really nice Sea Mullet and Croaker to fill the day out. I couldn't help but to have fun as Justin let everybody know when he caught a fish. I will have to say Ashley put the whoopin' on the guys with a good 24 fish advantage. I had a great time with you guys.

I went out this morning with Brandon and James trying to catch a few Amberjack. The day didn't go as we planned but we still had a good time out there. We hit a few wrecks here and there and just couldn't find a taker. We had one Barracuda hit and that was it. We will get them next time out though.

This afternoon I was out with Collen, Sharon, Meghan, Matt, and Edwin. We started out looking for some Specks but that got kinda boring quick as they were not in the mood to bite. We got a few to the boat but never in the boat. We then moved on and started catching quite a few Flounder and some really nice sized Croakers. The Croaker were on fire, they were eating anything that hit the water. I want to thank the guys for bringing the Jams aboard the boat, gotta say that was a first, just glad nobody was within hearing distance of us. I just remembered it was Collin, Jack, Matt, Edwin, and James. The girls were the ones that continuously text them. Had a great time guys, your lucky I didn't hear the phone ring at 1:45 am as well. See ya next year.

I was able to go out today with an old friend and do a little fishing and catching up at the same time. Along with RJ was Mr. James to help out with the catching duties. We started out by catching some nice Speckled Trout and then moved on to catch some Flounder. After weeding through 20 or so we were able to come out with a keeper for the table. Had a great time this morning and look forward to seeing you again next year.

Went out this morning with Jim, Brett, and Bradley to do a little fishing and net a few crabs. The fishing was slow this morning for us as we hit 3 different spots without a bite until we finally found the spot. We were able to catch quit a few Spot, Croaker and pigfish for the day. Wish the fishing was a little better but we still had a great time.

I headed out this afternoon with Darrin and his crew Krop,Ashley,Heather(mom),Lauren, and I want to say Eric? Sorry man, I told ya I would forget. LOL Fishing really slowed down this afternoon as we were only able to scrounge 1 Speck. We moved on from there and were able to catch a handful of Flounder and some really nice Croaker. Along with those we also caught some big Pigfish, Seabass, and Spot. Had a great time this afternoon and enjoyed having a mom on the boat to take care of us. You guys have a good vacation.

Iheaded out this morning with John Sr., John Jr.,Randy, and Justin. As usual the wind was blowing but that is the usual any more. We headed to our fist stop and and started catching Specks from the first cast on. The bite was come and go as we grinded out fish after fish. Randy was able to catch a nice 23" Speck to go along with the rest of them. When then headed out to catch some of the nice Mullet that had been biting but was unable to locate them as we went on to catch Flounder, Croaker, Spot, and Sea bass. Had a great time on the water this morning and look forward to seeing you next year.

I was out today Dan his gang Trevor,Tom,Jack and Steve. The wind is was blowing this morning as usual but we were able to find some nice Specks that were hungry. We caught a handful at our first stop and it kinda died so we moved to plan B. It was slow as well as we only pulled a few out of there. Trevor decided to start bottom fishing and it paid off for him. He went on to be the man of the day as well. He caught Flounder, Sea Mullet, Speckled Trout, Croaker, Spot and Sea Bass. As the day went on we decided to move and we began to catch a few more Trout to add tot he collection for the day. Had a great time on the water today with you guys and hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Had some of my New York gang out on the boat this morning. We set out for some Specks and we found them. Mike and Joe both have fished with me in the past so they knew what was going on. The bite was a little slow today but the fish were nice sized. The wind was blowing a little harder than the forcast called for so I had to scrap the original game plan and play it be ear. We managed to find a few here and there. I had a great time out there today and it was nice hanging with you guys again.
