Last two days were busy - double and triple charters.

Early in the week - I had return client Robert Boyle on a 4hr Ocean charter we had to work a bunch of different spots as pick a keeper here or there. Nothing great in terms of numbers for the limited time - but picked 5 keepers with a few nice ones to 6 pounds.

2nd trip was with return client Mike Pikulin, his boys, and dad on a 3hr bay trip. The boys did a great job releasing over 55 short fluke with a few just shy of the 18-inch mark. They released a few croakers and lone bluefish also. Especially good on a bad tide. Good luck to Mike's oldest Stephen as he starts his freshman year at Georgia Tech's school of Engineering.

3rd charter - cancelled due to T-storm watch - with storms never materializing.

Triple charter Tuesday (all bay):

Morning trip: I had return client Tom Dillon out with his college buddy and cousin (2nd time fishing for them) on a 4hr bay charter. We worked a bunch areas and the trio released 52 short while boxing 2 keeps at 18.5 and 20 inch.

2nd trip: I had new client Tom Borowski, his wife, and son on a 3hr bay trip fishing a bad tide. We started off with some short life, and moved around along with alot of wind against tide conditions. His son John nailed a beauty at just over 7 pounds on the boga grip in fairly shallow water. They added another 19 inch while releasing close to 46 shorts along with a nice kingfish for the box.

3rd trip: I had new client Ed with his 3 boys on a 3hr bay trip. More of the same for the bay - lots of shorts but tough on keepers at we had a ripping tide and stronger than expected winds. The boys did a nice job for their first-time ever fluke fishing releasing 41 shorts.

We do have some new openings for the start of the sea bass season (9/23 to 9/25), so give us a ring. Book at trip through www.reelreactioncharters.com
