| 6-28-07 Fred Bogue, Bill & Shawn Doherty
from New Jersey, had a great trip today. They caught and released a boat load of
striped bass including some 24"-27"ers. This was Shawn's first striper outing
with dad and "uncle" Fred. He caught his first striper and had his first
bluefish right to the side of the boat when it spit the hook! By the smiles on
everyone's faces I think this will not be Shawn's last fishing trip with dad and
uncle Fred! |

The fish were eating small herring
flies and small white jigs while busting bait on the surface in 3'-8' of water!
Fun stuff for everyone including Capt. Dave!
