Fishing Report:
- I fished the beach today and the results were Sea Robins, Fluke, and an unexpected visit from thrashing, blitzing, big blue fish (taking poppers). All in all it was a great day of fishing and a lot of fun! Gulp were taking the fluke and poppers were taking the Blues!- As the storm moved onto the beach from the west, water spout tornado like objects formed over the bay and came screaming towards the beach. It was entertaining to see everybody run for their cars are drive north as fast as they could. We drove south instead and ended up at the Barnegat Inlet, it was worth it. What a wild experience though to see them form out of nowhere over the bay.

-$$$SHOW ME THE MONEY$$$
Now for the most important report. A fundraiser has been started to "Keep Grumpy out of the Shop!" A clear container with a clear lid is by the register in the shop. There is an incision on the lid which allows customers to contribute coins into the fund! However, instead of contributing coins, most customers are stuffing dollar bills into the fund. It has almost filled up the container and we may need to switch the container to a five gallon bucket. I contributed my dollar today and I, along with Paul, Ray, and Dom encourage everyone else to contribute to this great profit organization. What's the profit, NO MORE GRUMPY!!! And new reports!!! Also a Happy environment and staff at the shop!!! So please come down and contribute to this great cause!!!

We think we placed 4th overall but there remains a cloud of doubt on the scoring. There were 32 boats in the Tournament with 132 anglers and 132 Tarpon scored total.
We had a great day of post Tournament fishing ("Rod Testing") today. We caught more King Mackeral, Jack Cravelle, Horse Eye Jacks, Barracuda and of course Tarpon.
We have one more day of "Rod Testing" to go before we return home. Its time for the children to clean up the mess and get back to work! Thank You all for your generous donation to the Keep Grumpy Away Fund! If there is enough Cash there I will leave again within three weeks!
