Prolonged Southerly winds has taken it's toll on inshore ocean temps creating cooler bottom temperature to up well along the beaches and inlet which has played well for a nice spike in striped bass and blackfish activity, while the back bay continues to offer non -stop action with fluke but with few keepers to put on ice.
We continue rely on seabass fishing to put some meat in the cooler. Dave Davis from Lancaster PA joined by son Troy were out for some drop and reel seabass action nearly filling 2/3 of 120qrt cooler with tasty seabass before trips end. Andy Pemerick and son Hunter along with Chris Weed and son Brandon had steady action through out the morning with short fluke, unfortunately unable to throw any keepers in the cooler before trips end .
Regular Joe Franke scored 2 sporty stripers on light spinning tackle before turning our attention to get our limit of blackfish . With our limit of black fish Joe picked a keeper fluke out of all the throw backs before a thunder storm sent us running for cover.
The Chris Simmons Party joined by sons Jack and KC and Uncle and regular Jay Simmons were out ducking in between thunderstorms for a slow start in the back bay only scoring a porcupine puffer and a power house cow nosed ray before heading over to the inlet to score nice action with striped bass to 29". Jay was his usual mistro wielding his fishing rod in a well orchestrated technique taking bass master as per usual !. The next morning the guys were back out for round 2 for a mix of fluke, blackfish , blow fish, king fish, porcupine puffers, and even our first weakfish of the year !
