Paramount Monday Marathon

[tautog]

Made it out today at the last minute with a small crowd. Didn't make the boat any money, but it made some people's day. Only had a few showers at sea but the drive home from the boat was more interesting than I like with floods and traffic lights out. Sea basing was tough but ling fishing was excellent with quite a few 3-4lbers in a mix. Also quite a few jumbo flounder came up. Strange catch of the day was a big sea turtle hooked in the mouth on a clam strip. Luckily he used his flipper to get free at the surface.

I would up with a sea bass, a jumbo flounder and 55 ling. Don from Toms River had 2 flounder with a 4 1/2lb pool winner, 3 sea bass, a sea turtle and 42 ling. Yoosuk Lee (real name) had a sea bass, a flounder and 39 ling. Everyone else I spoke to was in the 30s except for Captain Dennis who's catch was doubled by a guy fishing with a upside down rental rod. Thank God, he makes his living finding fish rather than catching them.:eek:

nice report , sound like you had a good day

[Inishmore3]

I enjoy your reports and congratulations on a good day

I'd also like to tip my hat to the fine folks who own and run the Paramount. From what Tautog said there were not a lot of customers today. But you went anyway. Again, a terrific job by all. A class act.

beautiful job! 2 questions how deep & how was the dock fluking?

[tautog]

Not super deep as that seems to still be all congos. Dock fluking sucked, I can't wait until the snappers are big enough to use in a few weeks.

River has been good but the dock has been slow unless you have a perfect tide. Just loaded with seaweed there this year.

my cousin tried fishing the inlet twice & both times he said the seaweed was unmanageable
