Good for you Steve, and sorry I could not get out with you.. always a busy time of year for me, family and work wise..just can't make plans, as things change quickly, in my world.
As far as the 10PM exodus.. I can understand the local working guys, 5 or 6 AM comes pretty quick.. but the NY club types.. I thought that is what they came here for?

.. sleep all day, fish all night.. don't get it...
But, glad you found them

.. I did a couple all nighters just south of you, one of those weeks.. no where near as good results.. you were on top of them.
PS..
did you use a dropper?.. it's been a tremendous help on my beach.
