Sorry for the late report. Saturday we had joe and his friends from Scranton for shark fishing. Had really nice weather all day. Wish the drift was a little faster but we managed thanks to some current. Made our first drift and a little while into it we had a shark jump twice (or 2 different ones) right behind our lines but never took anything. Kept going and had some chub mackerel around the boat so everyone had a turn to try and catch a few. Had a dusky soon after swim up to the chum bag and around the boat for a while, disappeared and then took one of our baits. Decided it was time for a different area. Had something that kept playing with the baits a good chunk of the drift but wouldn't take the whole thing. Even tried smaller baits and all but nothing. Finally hooked into a blue shark so the guys were able to see a few sharks but not what we were looking for.

Sunday we had one of our regulars Walter take his family out for some fluke. Started offshore but the drift was way too fast so we worked the rest of the day inshore. Morning was pretty dismal a few shorts and seabass here and there. Later in the day we finally found a patch and were catching a keeper every drift with a bunch of shorts. The 5 of them wound up with 8 keepers to 5.5lbs and a few seabass as well. Most of the fish all on bait as well

Open spots Saturday 7/15 for ling/flounder and Sunday 7/16 for fluke!
