John looked at me funny when I said tinker blues also. I've always called the tiny ones tinkers.
The one pounders (year olds)... snappers.
1st of the year fish... racers.
Over 10lbs... slammers.
Over 15lbs... choppers.
All others... just blues.
Of course, I grew up in PA and only fished Nantucket once every couple years, so my information on saltwater fish could be tainted
It mostly comes from an uncle who I once thought knew alot about saltwater angling. Then I moved up here and started fishing the salt some and thought he knew a little about saltwater angling. Now, I've been doing it alot for the past 4 years and I realize that he doesn't know @#$% about Saltwater Angling!
Life is all about perspective and point of view.
But yeah, those "little" blues looked like perfect bait to me and something big was hackin' on 'em just about every morning.
Unfortunately, my uncle had the boat and he just didn't seem to believe me that we should have spent time over there. Fine. His boat. He's the captain.
Sept '02 I will be taking my own boat
