Fair to partly snotty (maybe 4 to 6') but very comfortable. I do get sea sick but thought it would be 3' so I did not use the patch. Left at 3am. Very smooth on the way out with the wind on the stern, slept like a baby. Started fishing around sunrise, didn't feel great but didn't lose my cookies, got my sea legs pretty quickly. If we started fishing in the dark I may not have faired so well.

It was nice to stop down at the dock after my trip and see da full coolers! I am glad you guys got them!

Nice to see Jay Santiago, Jon Devin and meeting his brother Joel, Howie Allen and of course Mr. Billfish and Leif. Nice to see Capt. Bob and Mike and Tommy too!

Looks like you guys did just as good as I did on the Voyager. I believe I saw you guys out there, either East or West of us. Again already reported, the porgies were so thick I started to release them halfway through the day. I was 8 SeaBass away from my limit but caught plenty.

Once again, nice to see everyone!

Some on the trip, esp HOWIE, were Sea Bass snobs/Porgy haters. Nothing wrong with dinner plate/platter sized Poe-gies!

We got 'em! Lots of big porgies and sea bass. Nice monkfish too. Good to see ya Jay, Yassar, Dave and the crew. Tommy was the man on the grill firing up the pork roll egg and cheese and angus burgers. On the money Tommy, Bobby, Mike and the whole crew.

Thanks for putting the report up guys.

Gambler's fishermen are the best and are really appreciated by the crew and myself.
