Hick Weber to ancient Camelot Well, all the knights are nameless in this contest (and a lot of others anymore) so I have no choice to tell you but-by the boats name who won With 90 boats fishing there were 22 white marlin taken, and 43 released. They also had four big eye tuna, one 75 lb. yellow fin tuna, and one 66 lb. wahoo.

the Sea Raider, and Cpt. Charlie Selby on the Rainbow. The Misfits Fishing Club from Philadelphia boated over 425 fish, and the high hook had 35 fish. Pool winner was Mark Newsome with a 17 lb. 4 oz. blue It seems like the heat of the day sort of knocked out the bluefishing, but when the evening ^got cool they started biting again. I think most of this action was down around the Rips, bediiijn pt. Rill Henley on the driy trips of the Sea Rider was reporting the sartre thing, and he mentiojied that they had taken a few blowfish for the first time in many a moon. FLOUNDER fishing started to improve too David "Jerry” Jerahek called on Thursday He'd been out on Cpt. Tom Robert's My Gal. and they'd gotten 47 flounder. Jerry hud 14 himself, and one went 4 lbs Another encouraging report came from Cpt. Jay Beecroft on the Ronito Cpt. Jay took a party up the bay on Thursday and fished the upper end of the Puijk Grounds They caught 20 weakfish, and were all "spikes,'' but as Cpt. Jay says, it proves they're still there. I think we're going to have some . good weakfishing.in the Bay in August, and the flounder seem to be improving too.
