Today's group were a long way from hometheir home country Egypt! First drift was terrible.Second not much better.Went offshore where no crowds would bug me.It worked sharks were thick but good mix of shorts and keeper fluke kept us busy as well.Keepers wern't jumbos with some at just over 18 and two closer to 20". Lot of 17" class fish out there makingus crazy...I was caught off guard when we added this slob class porgy to the pile.Even more surprised when we added a second one! Worked hard in the heat.Time for a little ac and cold water.

Today's group arrived on time and we were off.The fleet had gathered in a spot not the same as yesterday so we did an unsuccessful drift there..There was a little shift in the wind direction and speed sice yesterday and we had a brutal time trying to dial in our drift but finally it came to us.Action was more sporadic but managed some nice keepers and of course the assortment og shorts,sharks and robins to fill in and keep us active through the morning.

The Ramos family joined us today.Starting in a choppy bay we only found sharks and robins.Watching theparty boats doing nothing as well pushed us to plan B.Go look for at least some sea bass. The first drifts were loaded with dinks.Then we started picking some better specimens.Loads of 12 1/4 inch fish with some nice keepers in the mix.Then we started dialing in the Fluke.More 16-17 1/2 inch fish than we coukd count.We did box a 21" class fish but the rest just didn't make it.Switcing to big gulps produced loads of almost keeper Fluke and some stud sea bass! Had to work it hard but nice day!!
