Daily Fishing Report From Captain Bobby Quinn

7-2-08 GROUND SWELL STARTED TO DROP OUT TODAY BUT THE FLUKIN WAS STILL SLOW.A LACK OF WIND DIDNT HELP EITHER SO WE POUNDED SOME WRECKS AND ROCKS AND CAUGHT SOME NICE SIZE SEA BASS AND LING ALONG WITH SOME KEEPER FLUKE.A NICE DAY ALL AROUND.

7-03-08 The heave died out today until the south wind kicked 

up in the afternoon,so we did manage to pick a little better at the fluke,but still slow overall.High hook had three keepers and some sea bass.

7-04-08 Had no wind today,so we stayed around the hard bottom and picked at nice fluke up to eight pounds and had some nice sea bass all around the boat.High hook had five keeper fluke and some bass.Arturo won the pool with the eight pounder.Also some nice size ling.A big improvement in fishing today.

7-05-08 Had another day like yesterday,some nice fluke sea bass and ling.Pool fish around five pounds with high hook having three keepers.

7-11-08  Missed some reports this week due a trip i had to take south,but the boat had been out every day and doing well.Today was actually very good with the best fishing of the year with alot of guys catching between 4-6 big keepers and lots of shorts.Also some good numbers of big sea bass.The best fish of the day and year today went to Sam G.from Toms River with a 10 lb.12 oz.Fluke.Bobby Kojac had high hook with seven fish up to 7 1/2 lbs,and would have had more if he didnt lift that big one out of the net!!!! Ha Ha.Tomorrow looks great!!!!Come on down.

7-12-08 Started off with some nice size fluke in the morning,started to look good and then a ground swell from the hurricane shut the fishing down completely.Went in to the beach and picked at some shorts.Pretty slow the rest of the day.
