It's Sunday night (late), 5/4/08. This report may get to you later in the week than usual. Here's the "BASSED" we can do...

Friday, 5/2, the bottom temp. in 70.4 feet of water was 52 degrees. Bruce Dunkley from Waretown, NJ got the win with a 2.2-lb. sea bass.

Saturday, 5/3, a gloomy weather forecast kept people at home. We did not sail.

Sunday, 5/4, another rotten forecast. A few people showed up and we sailed. Don't like to send people home with the price of fuel and all. Much warmer water. Around 56 degrees @ 55 feet. Jeff Adami of Howell, NJ rang the bell with his pool-winning 2.4-lb. sea bass.

A big improvement in sea bassing. Beautiful blue humped back fish are being caught. Also caught more blackfish this weekend (out of season) than in the past two weeks. Oh well!! A quick look at the forecast tells us this upcoming weekend the sea bassing should really be turning on. Warm weather and warmer water. Things are looking up. Please don't forget about www.ssfff.net and our continuing saga to protect our rights for the upcoming FLUKE seasons. We need all the help we can get. By the way, starting Wednesday, May 14 we will be sailing Wednesdays through Sundays, from 8 AM to 2:? PM for sea bass. Ciao.

Will, Gina, and Jeff
