June Bug fished the Kennedy family from California on Saturday.

We also had Cpl. Steven McKenney, USMC aboard. Steve just returned safe and sound from Iraq a month or so ago. It was interesting to find out what is really going on over there. Steve told us that the play that the U.S. media gives the relatively few insurgent attacks is overkill. Things are far more peaceful than portrayed. His job was to set up the computers and communications for all of the outlying bases, both for the U.S. forces and the Iraqi policy and military.

Hoping for some Bonita on light tackle, we went to the Barnegat South Ridge. We found no Bonita but plenty of big slammin' Bluefish. Ryan Kennedy (9) caught the biggest fish of his life. There was lots of huffing and puffing to get those monsters to the boat. Most ran from 12 to 15 pounds.

Junior Mate Hep Hepburn ran the cockpit for the day. That was a first for him and he did fine. There is no learning experience better than hands on.

It was another first of sorts for June Bug. My 2 year old Lab, Summer, asked to go and spent her first day on the ocean. She did great except for being a bit of a lunch beggar.

We have a nice selection of Inshore and Offshore dates remaining. Call to discuss.
