Well, we certainly have had things stirred up a bit on the local waters with the passage of Hurricane Bill and Tropical storm Dennis. Just to keep things interesting we had a big coastal low move right up the coast into the Delaware Bay this past week as well.

Prior to Hurricane Bill we had John Toomey and family on board for a nice day of bottom fishing. We wound up having a good day on the flounder but the keeper ratio was a little off. With Hurricane Bill offshore Jason Ream and friends joined us for a little inshore shark fishing. Maybe it had something to do with the storm but we got a skunking on the sharks. To salvage a complete bust of a morning we caught some nice croakers and a bunch of throw back flounder.

After the passage of Hurricane Bill we had Fred Brubaker and friends aboard for a short trip in the Bay. It wound up being pretty good with a bunch of flounder, croakers, a seabass and a triggerfish. After the passage of Tropical storm Dennis we had Jay Campbell and friends aboard for an offshore trip. Not knowing what to expect we were pleasantly surprised with the trip. We released two white marlin, released a big hammerhead, harvested a nice swordfish, harvested three tile fish, and captured 18 nice gaffer dolphin.

After the next low pressure system last week we ventured offshore again with Mike Bertok and freinds. With some yellowfin being caught on the 30 fathom line we had some high hopes. Our hopes were fulfilled as we came home with 8 yellowfin tuna, a pair of dolphin and two shark releases.
