Made it out today at the last minute with a small crowd. Didn't make the boat any money, but it made some people's day. Only had a few showers at sea but the drive home from the boat was more interesting than I like with floods and traffic lights out. Sea basing was tough but ling fishing was excellent with quite a few 3-4lbers in a mix. Also quite a few jumbo flounder came up. Strange catch of the day was a big sea turtle hooked in the mouth on a clam strip. Luckily he used his flipper to get free at the surface.
I would up with a sea bass, a jumbo flounder and 55 ling. Don from Toms River had 2 flounder with a 4 1/2lb pool winner, 3 sea bass, a sea turtle and 42 ling. Yoosuk Lee (real name) had a sea bass, a flounder and 39 ling. Everyone else I spoke to was in the 30s except for Captain Dennis who's catch was doubled by a guy fishing with a upside down rental rod. Thank God, he makes his living finding fish rather than catching them.
