[Life's A Beach]

Left the dock at 6:30 one shy; Turfman never showed or called?? PM me

Captain Kenny, Mates Ryan and Chris got everyone aboard and we headed north.

First drop took awhile to get any life going but it came around. Mick Razz FOREVER TO BE CALLED "BABY AL" got the Dollar Dollar Bill Yo fish and took an early lead in the pool with a 7.5#er!!! I tripled by Lab Limit for the day on this drop. After the third one, the sun disappeared as I got mugged by a couple middle linebackers. I lied and told them to toss in the wrong direction.

Kenny moved us around off Long Branch and Elberon from 60' to 30' but we never got a good bite going. Scott, Baby Al, Boston Pete, Cheesehead Scott and I braved the bow while others set up down the rail or in the stern.

It was a scratchy bite all day but FinS Bob nabbed a couple nice fish including an 8#er. Baby Al was high hook with 4. Stellie, FinS, Scotty and I had three; maybe more did too?

There was ample room to roam and many did but it never Turned On?

On the last drop, Pete was fishing up in the bow from me. He put his rod down and turned to get a crab. SOMEONE came over, moved his rod, dropped their own bait down and chin-hooked a 8.5#er. Nice Mugging Scotty!!!

Shrimpman Steve set up a $10 pool and we had the $5 pool. Up to this point, it was gonna be a split as FinS didn't go in the #10 pool.......but Scotty took 'em both.

Thanks to Shrimpman Steve's WIFE for making us a crock pot of tog chowdar.

All in all we had a good time, made new friends and caught some fish. The boat is spacious enough both inside and out.

Things I learned today:

Un-orthodox style but he's taken the last TWO blackfishing pools on site trips; Scott Kearny

Don't ever turn your back on him. He tossed out over the anchor line and got wrapped. He yanked and his 10oz Bank Sinker missed Baby Al's head by inches. Me and Pete saw it coming and ducked, just in time.

Tiny Tim aka Black Cat aka LastPortOfCall needs to stop holding his feeling in ROFLMFAO

Fire Chicken (name means he catches a lot of sea robins) is younger than my underwear but he's a nice guy.

Padiwan Robin (name is something from Star Wars and HE also catches a lot of sea robins)
