We had the first group from Fournier Trucking out today, statrted a little shakey as the Bay looked like a washing machine, round the tip of the Hook and it settled down.

As we rounded the tip of the hook birds were working the rips, the boys jigged cocktail blues and small bass to 24". After the fun wee headed down the beach to the clam beds. Set up near the dredges and boated several small bass to 27". The bite quickley shut down and we moved further south along the beach.

Set up again clamming and the bite was on Boated Bass to 24 lbs had quite the flury for about 40 minutes and then the skates moved in. After the 16th one it was time to move.

Headed back north and set up on Flynn's Knoll....it was right at tide change boated a few move short bass and some blues to 7 lbs.

All in all a good day, weather turned around and it was dead calm in the afternoon.

Will have the second report for Tuesdays trip posted tomorrow
