Headed out with Chris,Lynn,Roger and Justin plan was to give bass a shot. Had wind against tide but we gave it a quick shot had no marks whats so ever so I made the quick run to the north end of the reach for some bottom fishing. Lot of boats in the area but found a nice high spot and dropped the hook the guys had drop and reel big porgies a few were between 14-15"s. They also caught 2 keeper tog at 14.5"s we didn't get a keeper seabass which suprised me we had a lot of just miss fish. We didn't plan on bottom fishing the reef so I only had clams onboard but still managed a good pull of tog with just the 2 being keepers.

You can compare the size of the porgies next to the keeper tog. Nice day on the water!
