Rough conditions in the AM with a hard incoming and a SW breeze. Set up to drift the port side, boat did go the way I wanted, but the lines screamed off the starboard side! Just enough wind to slow down the drift but still take out the lines on the other side. Amazing that we caught anything at all! We did pick at the fish, just like yesterday, and ended with a few nice ones. Floyd Frank, Phillipsburg N.J. had the pool fish at 7.5 pounds. Donnie Nickels, Morristown had second largest at 5.5. A few 3's mixed in and some shorts. Still had to work your *$# off too catch'em. High hook had 5 decent size fish....Capt.Frank is out this afternoon on the Bluefish trip, so far the S wind against the outgoing ain't too pretty!! Capt.Ron
