6 trips in the last two days - 5 out of 6 in the bay - tons of short life - tougher on keeps. We have some ocean-going clients for the next few trips, so it should be a nice change of pace as the ocean fishing has been excellent.

Monday

Trip 1: Return client Mike Geddis and his boys released 54 shorts and boxed 2 keeps to 21 inches on a 4hr bay charter.

Trip 2: New client Chris K. and his family tried to hit the ocean for a 4hr charter, but the Atlantic flu struck after the 1st drift. We lost some time on the run out and in, but they ended with a 5 pounder and 25 shorts in the bay.

Trip 3: New client Dean Scotton and family did a quick 3hr sunset ocean trip. The crew did a nice job releasing a bunch of shorts and boxing 3 keeps to 22 inches along with a sea bass. We had limited time, but the bite was pretty good even with a falling sun.

Tuesday

Trip 1: Return client Jay Philips and his family released over 40 shorts while boxing 2 fluke (19, 21) on their 3hr bay trip. The guys did an exceptional job jigging!

Trip 2: Return client Keith Linde and his son worked through over 40 shorts to box 2 keeps (21, 22). The guys worked hard through a bad tide on their 4hr bay trip.

Trip 3: I had new client Greg Sailer from my neighborhood along with his family on a 3hr bay trip. Although some were new to fluke fishing, they did a great job working through 40+ shorts and boxing 4 nice keepers to 23 inches. Young Sammy scored his first ever keeper at 23 inches and added another.
