Captain Bob’s Fishing Report

Mako010

Pictured: from left, Scott Bevan, Ken MacAdams, Jim Coppola, Tim Stevens, Captain Bob Bevan standing.

BAD START-----GREAT ENDING........Departure time was logged for 5:30 AM, Saturday, June 16th. The crew’s 35-mile trip to the “shark grounds” was one man short. Ken MacAdams phoned from his cell to say he blew a tire on Route 55 in Glassboro and doesn’t know how to use a lug wrench.

State Police helped Ken and he is on his way.

One hour later leaving the dock, the crew hears a loud “bang”; turned out to be nothing but a broken spark plug. We have a spare and we are on our way.

Drop bang stick overboard ($200) lost. Fish for five hours and Mr. Marko shows up. At 2 PM Scott hooks up and with teamwork, we land a 120 lb. Mako. Two hours later, “Old Boy” Tim Stevens hooks up and once again great team work results in our second Mako about 100 lbs.

Beautiful day on the water and Ken made it home without a flat.

Bay had good flounder biting on Saturday and Sunday. Come on down. Still time to book a trip on the “Gracie” with Captain Bob and crew. Call 856-456-5511 or 609-417-3786.  see Fishing photo album
