Capt. Rob had the Dave Young charter out today in search of more of these big bass. They didn't have to go far, the schools of bunker were just off Asbury. Dave landed a nice 25 pound Striper on the first drop. The group had 2 other runoffs that were not typical of even the largest stripers. Both ended up being thresher sharks that ate the live bunker. Neither were landed but one of them put on quite a show with 4 jumps before it bit or chaffed through the mono leader. Later on in the trip, they anchored up at the rocks and caught 7 more bass and a dozen bluefish.

AM - We started the day with the Scott Richardson charter in search of some Fluke action. Let's just say, the fluking wasn't stellar. They group caught and released numerous fish that were close, but not good enough. Capt. Rob made a few drops on structure where they put together a respective catch of Sea Bass. 

PM - Dr Mike headed out again today, but this time he brought along his parents. The Last One ran north to anchor up for an afternoon of chumming. The bluefish action was hot, with 25 fish in the 6 to 10 pound range. In addition to the blues, they landed 8 local stripers, 2 of them were short and were released. Needless to say, Mom and Dad had a great time. Dr Mike..........great fathers day gift!

Dave Hyde's group had been reading of all the Striper action for for the past 4 weeks. One phone call to Captain Rob and they were heading out the inlet. It didn't take long for Dave's guys to say "WOW", why did we wait so long. Every fish was big, 25 to 40 pounds. They hooked and reeled in over 20 bass before heading back to the dock.

Todays trip produced another great catch of huge bass. Live lining bunker of front of Shark River Inlet produced 6 Stripers all in the 30 to 35 pound range.
