Near shore wrecks flounder fishing

[Mako mike]

Hit the artificial reef 9nm off the beach today that is made from old NY city subway cars. Too friends grandkids out for some bottom fishing and what a beautiful day. Drifted wrecks several times and kids got a assortment of sea bass, sea Robbins, small sting rays triggers and some really nice flounders. First flounder at 19" was sacrificed for some flounder bellies for bait. Once we switched to the bellies man did they start tieing into some doer mats. Caught a total of 28 keepers all 19-27" the biggest measuring 28 1/2". Kid were really having a great time when......... On came the bilge pump (normal) with a really pretty bluish purple water streaming from it! Diesel fuel ( not normal)! Decided to pack it in and head for the barn. While grandpa cleaned fish with the kids I started to troubleshoot problem. Found a deck screw had chaffed a hole in the tank fill hose. No big deal, ran over to commercial harbor and obtained new hose from catapillar and installed. Great day on water with the kids. Grandpa going to forward pics and hope to post soon. By the way free flounder fillet to first person to id owner of boat in picture!
