We left Little Creek a little after 8 am, the goal was to fish up North for some togs.

We headed to a hang, anchored up, managed some small bass and 1 tog. We couldn't get the boat on the hang the way we wanted, so after repeated tries and drops, we decided to move on to another near by wreck.

While enroute we joked about going DEEP and catching some quality bass and tiles, my crew said let's go. I reminded them it was late to be heading deep and we would have a small window about 2 hours to fish and they still said lets go. Off we went cruising at a mere 35 mph, the farther offshore we went the bumper it got, I had to keep up speed to make up time.

Upon arrival we dropped the usual places, finding barren grounds, not 1 fish. I decided to move to another spot I had in mind and off we went. We arrived and dropped, making long drifts, hooked up and a nice Sea Bass came into the boat. then Chris caught a double on Wreck Fish. We made a couple more drifts and managed a couple of Tilefish, another Bass and 3 more Wreck Fish, a few Dogfish and quite a few small Bluefish.

Time was short and we could only make about 4 drifts, so we pulled the plug and ran in before the seas had a chance to chop back up.

You just never know what you'll catch or where you'll end up, when you fish with The Fishin Fool.

Another Great Adventure with a Great Crew.

Final Talley:
1 - Tog
2 - Keeper Sea Bass
2 - Decent Blueline Tilefish
Assorted Bluefish
5 - Decent Wreckfish

BTW: We saw a FAT SHARK, about 12' +, BIG AROUND, cruising behind the boat. It had a pointed nose, but didn't look like a Mako. Possibly a small Great White??? Cool to see, glad we were in the boat and not the water.

Here are some pics.
