Well I'm glad I decided to join Schoolie tonight, because altough there was a slack period after the initial flurry early on, the end of the night was a rush. We nailed some 10 blues each early one and then the slack hit and you really had to work for one here and one there, but then all H*LL broke loose right after the wind picked up from about 15 to 35. It was a fish a cast for about 1-1/2 hours or until we were just too tired. Actually I was too tired and S.M. was just too wet, man you need to wear a rain jacket at a minimum bud, you were like a fish out of water out there :). I even took a few at the tail end, because that high wind really kicked those waves up a notch or two. I had a ball tonight...too cool.

there's blues out there
 

You would think after last time, I would learn, but there are those that would say I'm a bit scatter brained about these things. I left straight from work so I packed the night before... I even debated stoppin' at the house to pick up my lightweight rain pullover. Traffic was brutal so I skipped it.

Bad move... it really took away from what should have been a sweet night. After taking a few waves early, I just was off and everything was a struggle. I couldn't concentrate... I felt awkward working my lure (how hard is a ballistic missile to work), awkward fighting the fish, landing them. I'm so mad at myself, that I looked thru the catalogs last night for a few of those cheapo travel pullovers to store in both of my cars and the boat.

I still had a blast, but by the end, I just wanted the heck outta Dodge. GS, maybe I'll see you out there on the water this weekend and thanks for the baits... that's going to be THE color dude. Tomorrow, am, I will be slaying fish on those on the harbor.

Also, hung around a few minutes and bs'd over a cold one with Topwater and his wife. Thanks for the brew, it helped shake off the shivers. Best of luck to them this weekend, though I doubt they will be reading this.

In closing, man, those are just cool fish...

I sure hope I can find the schools of blues this week. I really would like my wife to partake in a blitz.

I'd have to agree with you guys, bluefish are definitely one of the best sport fish. There's nothing like fishing a school on topwater in the summer. :D I plan on getting out this year down the Cape and chasing some schools in Dennis. I made the mistake of taking some home last year, I think I'll stick with the kippered snacks! :p
