DAY FISHING 7/18

another week has gone by of the 2008 season with a few more flounder caught. it is still not as good as it gets but it still sure beats going to work or mowing the grass every day. on wednesday the 16th a mixed group from vineland n.j. , north carolina, and st. louis mo. found their way to the place called fortescue. allthough the sharks and small blue fish all about 1lb to 1 1/2lb were interesting to aj, brandon, matthew, and tyler both tony and debbie wanted to interest themselves with catching dinner. well as time passed debbie made it happen with her 20" flattie. now she has a fish story to take back to st. louis. we ended up with 3 nice flounder and about 30 blues for the day. jacqueline" aka pud" came down with her grand pop and spent two days fishing and taking charge of the stearing of the bonanza II as she even picked out the hot spots and found the fish. way to go. deninse enjoyed a day with chrisie poo and showed him that it's not only chris the buck tail bland that can catch the big ones , deninse can hold her own. on thursday the17th, the father and son team of len and urbie strouse from sharron hill pa. showed us how to get it done with class. they went on a tear of fluke. using squid and minnow, cut shark, cut sea robbin, and cut blue fish they kept 4 nice fluke 2 - 21 1/2", 1 - 19", and 1 - 20", as well as quite a few blue fish. way to go urbie and len. the only other flounder caught this day belonged to mr. retired ed cole from pennsville n.j., ed is seen in one of the pictures above holding his very own 20" fish. just do not let chris know that ed did it on his own. pepe is seen doing what he does best all day. do not change a thing pepe you doing good. the blue fish still remain a big part of the day as well as the short fish. it still stays the same as if the size limit was 17 or even 17 1/2" the keepers to throw back ratio would be a lot better.
