Thanks Guys! I fish on the Strike Two team and I can tell you Capt. Rob Lupola has put untold time and money into this sport over the last 10 years. This is a well deserved accomplishment for him. Great job skipper!

As for fishing, it was amazing. Rob pre fished earlier in the week and put us on a spot all by ourselves while there were 120 plus boats parked at the salt dome. The bite was unbelievable, we couldn't get over two lines out at a time and didn't put the rod in a rod holder, just cast the bait count to ten and fish on. They ate hardtails, mullet, bluefish (dead or alive) and frozen mackeral, we even had a strike on a rig without bait. We caught and released over 40 Kings (no BS) with double hookups all day. The big King was caught on the stern while fighting another King on the bow that broke off. Also the Red Snapper were thick (so much for endangered species) they were big and fat schooling about 15 ft under the boat. We caught a pile of them too, but had to send them swimming. Check out Strike Two on facebook for pics and video!
