I decided to make a quick stop yesterday evening down at Grinnells Beach in Tiverton, to find that the fishing had sucked there "as usual"... so I decided to take a drive down the road to fish off the nearest bridge near the mouth of an inlet...

There were maybe four or five people fishing & only one person there was catching anything while the others who appeared to be disgruntled continued to lob plugs & chunkbait.

I noticed that this guy was catching blues using the pearl storm shads, so I went back to my vehicle to grab some to try them out... needless to say, it wasn't long before I got into some just larger than snapper-sized blues...

The action there continued on until dusk, & as the sun had set, everyone left it just got better!...

Usually I get annoyed when the blues are running & desroying all of my plastics, but this was one of those evenings where I simply enjoyed the experience of catching & releasing until I ran down my alloted inventory of plastic shad...

My last shad was destroyed by a monster that nailed it near the pylon at the center of the bridge...

And although I wasn't fortunate enough to get this badboy onto my hook,

I realized how easily it is to take these grand fish for granted...

As much as I love fishing for Striped Bass... :D

I LOVE CATCHING BLUES!!!

I don't think that I'll ever think about bluefish the same way again..:)


Perhaps there is something to bluefish that I just didn't understand or appreciate until now...

Wait till the move out into the rip at Stone Bridge.

The 15lbers in that rip will tear your arms off!

Is this the same rip at Grinnells Beach?... that bridge?...

I'm looking forward to it!...

I enjoyed your post on the Hab's needle & am looking forward to hitting that Beach you showed to me down in L.Compton with one...

Do you have any of those Danny's?... or do you plan on making any?... (Black & Purple)?

I plan on picking up some hodgman breathables, and hitting the surf down that way soon!

...that Beach you showed to me down in L.Compton ...the rip at Grinnells Beach?... down the road to fish off the nearest bridge near the mouth of an inlet...

...Could you guys please supply me with directions to these places!!...

I'm under the penalty of death if I tell you!...:hihi:

It's actually the third turn to the left! ...After the sign....:laughs:

Tatoo can blindfold you & take you there!....:cool:

ah the good days, fishing elbow to elbow. when one fish was caught by five people or more. it was fun:D
