Jamaica II - Mondaymania

[Capt Joe]

Overall a good day with the Fluke today, as usual some where hot and some not so hot but most went home with some meat. Starnge one today the stern was lit up a good part of the day when it is usually the bow and the pool winner came from back there too - Young Park Ft Lee, NJ 8 lb 2 oz Fluke
Ed Nolan Manasquan was runner-up with a 7 lb 3 oz Flattie.
The usual cast of Monday characters did well, except for Ralphie, and so did some of the newbies that fished with us today that we were happy to have on board.
Some that reported limits:
Chris Molinari
Eff Smith
Eric Slonaker
Dennis Muhlenforth
Frank Pogue
Carrie Smith
William Davenport
Pete T.
Sinh Wu
Tom Palmieri
Ian

Hefty school of cow-nose rays cricled the boat at one time today and Ralphie manged to hook one and pretty well wipe out the one side in a tangle. Man did that thing take off.
Poor Ralph tuff day!!!! Watch out next trip!!!!

Looking for good catching the rest of the week.
Frugal still leading the monthly for July with the 10 lb 7 oz Fluke he caught last week

Tangles aside, those cow nosed critters are a blast to fight. They peel line as fast as anything for short bursts. Had a few a couple of years ago. Mate gingerly gaffed it up to the rail to unhook it and boy oh boy, getting face to face with those things is a strange experience.

They do have a strange "face"!
