Got out early wiyh a slight breeze. 1st drift 2 nice keepers, 2nd drift 3 keepers and a surprise, a 3 foot long Silver Ribbon Fish. Nasty looking teeth. Continue to catch a few shorts and the wind crapped out.

Bounced around and caught many skates of all sizes. Wind started to pick up and the keeper started to bite again. I learned something about my crew, they can't count. Was told we had 11 and needed 1 more to head home, hooked one almost immed. and headed home. Final count short 10, someone took credit for un-caught fish.

Fished Deal and Elberon from 35 to 60 feet, water temp. 71.5 most of the morning. drift from 0 to 1.2 nots. Beautiful day on the water
