Showed up at the dock @ 0500 to find a group (Lefty Reeler, JMurr and Sportsfish USA with a grill and a 12 pack of Lattes!!

Everyone stored their stuff on the boat and we got ready to go. Got a call from our fearless leader saying he just woke up and wasn't gonna make it (translate this to 'it's cold, my bed and wife are hot and I ain't making THAT trade-off).

We selected starting positions at the rail according to order and me and 9 others had the midships and entire stern to ourselves. Guess someone heard this is a "bow bite" boat???

Fished off Red Church with spotty bite and the skating began. Some roasters, keepers and shorts came in here.

After giving this spot all we could we headed out to deeper water (dunno but I'm thinking we were @ "Green Acres"; you figure it out). We brought some more over the rails with Quanman Mark pulling a real nice 7-8#er and some nice 4-5#ers around the boat. Some caught, some didn't. Then the captain Bobby Quinn came back and told us someone got a nice fish in the bow. I sent his azz back up to find out WHO. The SAD news he returned with was "Fish Cakes???". OMG! Another 7-8#er.

A wiggle and some more fish then a HOOT from the bow that someone's got a nice fish on. DMac brings a nice fish to the net and Blackfish Bobby looks at me and say "That's a real nice piggy". Weighed it bouncing around 11#!!! The bar had been raised pretty damn high.

Some wiggles and fish with good bottom ALL AROUND THE BOAT on every drop then we headed back inshore to 40' somewhere off Long Branch. Again the catchers caught and the wanna-be's swung and missed.

The captain made one more move and keep us out until sundown; going above and beyond.

We weighed the fish in on the ride in; and will make this disclaimer: We asked EVERYONE to weigh in but some didn't think their fish were worthy of weighing. That ego can get in the way of a Mimi fishing trip ???

All weights are pounds/ounces

1. DMac 11/2 IN
2. Quanman 7/12 OUT
3. Fish Sticks 7/4 OUT
4. Shrimpman 5/4 IN
5. Foul Hook 5/1 IN

10. Blackfish Bobby 4/7 IN
11. Boston Pete 4/4 IN
12. Rayman/Grumpy's 3/15 IN
13. Scoundrel 3/12 IN
14. LAB 3/6 IN
15. J Murr 3/6 IN
16. Krueger 3/5 IN
17. MVP 3/1 IN
18. FinS 2/13 IN

19. Garone 2/12
20. Donand 2/12
21. Rob B 2/11
22. Sea Soda 2/8
23. Lefty Reeler 2/3
24. Scott Kearny 1/3


I'm sure I'll be corrected but DMac, The Kid and Blackfish Bobby had their limits. Some had NO keepers.

There will also be pictures on the Ocean Explorer's website and he may post a report too. Other's took pics throughout the day and will post. I bought a new camera and didn't fully charge it before the trip so I only have a few pics
