Was invited to join Russ 'n' Kathy (RnK) and Frank Qiu and Sam and Rondae today on Captain John's Golden Touch. It was a combo live-lining Striper and Sea Bass trip and we did well with both !! Left super early to grab bunkers off of Seaside Heights then had great Striper action up to Russ' ~40 lb'er. Then it was off to the Reef to top off the coolers with some nice Sea Bass.
Many thanks to Frank for providing a gourmet Asian home-cooked lunch, to Captain John who ran all over the place putting us on our quarry and provided a nice hot breakfast (reminding me of how much I miss former mate Frank F (RIP)), to Mate Rich who was Johnny-on-the-spot (even when the "bunker" I snagged turned out to be a yellow-eyed demon that clamped onto Richie's thumb), to RnK for inviting me on this memorable trip, and to the rest of our crew for filling our coolers so that we can now fill our freezers
