Even though I fished late with GB last night, I just couldn't resist skipping down to the cape tonight, it was just too sweat. Around 5 pm I just couldn't stand it anymore and through my stuff in the truck for a blast to the cape. When I got there there were birds working everywhere and two guys on the beach in front of me were hooked up. I waded out on the flat and had it all to myself, well almost, because there were blues everywhere. I only wish I'd brought some more terminal tackle :(, lost two of those beautiful Habs poppers, plus a Gibbs pencil and my chug bug. Those titanium leaders worked great last year, but I won't buy another in 30# test, the damn snaps must have been breaking at 10#'s.

Still, I switched over to my plastic after about 12 blues and 5 lost ones and continued, until I was plain out of 30# seagar and plastic. What a riot, I didn't even bother re-rigging new plastic and just fished the heads of ripped baits and skipped them over the surface and they loved it. I was cracking up as blues almost jumped into my waders trying to get it. I finally left the flat around 8:30, tired and flat out of gear to fish.

I guess a trip to Wally World is in order to get some stronger leaders. JW, I was wishing you guys were there beside me, flat calm and blues working everywhere. I hope the cooler weather coming in doesn't pull them out again.

JEALOUS...JEALOUS....JEALOUS

Damn I miss all the good days!

:D:D....Good time to hit the beach at low tide...when all those perty lures wash up on shore about 1/4 mile down the beach.....


.....don't worry, I'll mail em' back to ya...Bob.....:p :happy:

GS, glad you found fish. I wish ya gave me a heads up. I got squat, at 4:30 I headed to the cape also. I guess I went to the wrong hotspot :(
Tommorow's another day, but not for that spot I bet. Rain rain go away.

aaaahhh I hate when that happens .......... ya get home and theirs a blue in your waders !!:hee: Blues must of been decent to do that much damage:gf: I won't dare throw Gibbs at those choppers.......I find a 2oz Gaggs white/ blue head works great......or a 2oz white super strike!!......both are excellent casting plugs and take a lot of abuse !!
Isn't live great ?;)
