Fished South Shore Sun. A.M. bait everywhere--very small. No fish on them the whole time ( 4 hours ). But every once in a while a group of Bonita would come plowing through -- within 100 feet of shore. No luck for me--all my stuff was too large. Saw some fly charters hook up. Let's hope the bait didn't leave the ponds too early to make the smorgasboard some are expecting. Bait has to be a certain size before some fish will expend the energy. To the Bonita it didn't matter---just open the mouth and swim through. There's nothing much for bluefish to chomp on though. And the Striper's laziness (smarts) means there's no tid-bits.I hope enough of them stay and grow before the fall run, but they seem to be moving a little early?????
