A few years back myself and Eric LaFleur were in his old tin boat out on Scorton Ledge drifting eels on rubber cores. We had waited out a tremendous but thankfully fast moving thunderstorm in the B-Harbor parking lot and follwed the clearing sky and rising moon out around Beach Point and west to Scorton.
We were drifting along peacefully in the moonlight amongst the lobster pots getting our eels chewed by Bluefish on almost every drift and had no bass taking.
It was just after midnight when the first one crashed 30 yards from the boat and within minutes they were crashing everywhere around us. It was Giant Bluefin in the moonlight chasing bluefish and they were breaching so close we left in a hurry fearing one breachihg into the side of an 18 foot tin skiff with us in it.
True story. We could see them as plain as day and they were there the next day in the morning as well.
