Kids Get The Blues Too!
 

I am on the Cape with Angie and my boys and their friend Kevin for 2 weeks! First couple days we discovered blues blitzing small pods of bunker right in front of our house! It was amazing and the boys were having a great time beaching a bunch of bluefish and admiring the pods of bunker which were up and down the beach in ankle deep water! Thought I would post a few pics! Angie and I got a few but we were busy taking pics and I spent most of the time unhooking fish for the kids! We had a blast watching the boys! These were 8-10 pound choppers!

Here are a few pics of the bunker!

Here is a shot of the bunker pods....you can see the proximity of them to the beach....these were everywhere! Angie is on a blue here! Second pic is of my sons friend Kevin with his first bluefish on! He was thrilled!

That is awesome, Larry.......can't wait to get my kids onto something like that in a year or two.

Have a great time.

The first pic is of my boys friend Kevin and his first bluefish....think he is pumped?! This kid did everything I taught him and did a fantastic job! They slammed blues to 10 pounds and a bit more until after dark! Second picture is of my son Nathan with a 10 pounder he weighed in for the MSBA Fishing Derby! He was quite pleased!

cool pics!

I have never seen pods of bunker like this before......they were everywhere!! I am told they have not seen bunker like this down here in years! There was an acre of them all balled up further in the harbor the other day......it looked like it was a giant pan of boiling water!!

Korey......I marked up a Blitz Seeker pretty good on them blues!!

Great pics Larry. Looks like your vacation is off to a great start!

The smiles on their face says it all, Priceless :kewl:

Picture a whale, tuna and blues all at once making pogies walk on water...it was an amazing sight!

Young kevin's picture of him
and the bluefish does say it all

SWEET!:claps::claps: What a great vacation.

Great pics...Thank You!

Awesome Larry...looks like a great time...

Awesome photos! Sounds like a great time.

very cool

Awesome pictures Larry. Good times.

Great pics, Larry. I hope you were throwing beater plugs at them and not letting them bite your plugs.

Great pics...Congrats to the kids
Man it sure sucks to be a pogie!!

Yeah we have been throwing some beat up plugs that I have been using the last couple years! Considering we are using fluro leaders we have been doing well......only lost 3 or 4?

Larry:

I dont know where you guys are staying, but every Sept/Oct for the last several years there have been large schools of bunker in Ryder's Cove when we shoot though there to fish South Beach and Monomoy.

Great pics!!

Can't wait for August 9th!!!! :soon:

that's totally cool, thanks for the pics!
I dream of the day when I have kids and we can go slam fish together! you're a lucky man!

awesome pics!

It's experiences like that with the family that you (and more-so the kids) will be talking about for years to come. Plus, with the fishing being so good, the kids are more apt to get the fever that you have Larry. I'll be doing the same on MV over the next two weeks with my kids and nephews (don't know if I'll have the bait and blues in front of me like you have though).
I wonder, do you cry a little (on the inside) every time a blue steals one of your customs like I do? Awesome times for you and family. The kid Kevin will thank you some day I bet. I remember being invited along on vacation with a friends family when I was young. I look fondly on those times.

Well alright :D
good for Nathan and his buddy:claps:

Way cool Larry man!!!!!!!!! That pogie looks terrified don't he?

Glad your havin fun with the boys they and you will remember this for a long time.

I just love CC BAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bTW That pic where you can see the pogies face and the spot on his back would make a great poster!

awesome pics....looks like a fun session

Larry - awesome pics. that's what it's all about man - fishing bunker/pogies getting hammered by the blues. The blues get ultra reckless and it doesn't get any better than that for the kids.

One thing to consider ... if you find schools of bunker getting slammed by the blues, don't forget there are likely to be bass shadowing the activity picking up scraps. Try throwing a half a bunker (head half) out on the bottom behind the school, or a whole dead bunker and let it sit on the bottom.

We caught tons of good sized stripers that way ... target the bigger schools though.

have a great time, i think you are near where we used to go.

Andy

Awesome pictures Larry !:kewl:

that is fantastic!

Nice going larry

Andy.....no bass under this action! This is in water 2 inches to 3 feet deep!:) Did get one small dink bass off the fringe of the action that took a "Blitz Seeker"!
