RMarsh, welcome to S-B

I tend to catch less when there is a lot of fire in the water and this is more pronounced from shore than boat.
One night a couple years ago while travuling in the Clamman's boat, the fire was so thick - thick as I've ever seen - and we were hammering blue fish and the ocassional bass (I was with the bluefish slayer afterall). As we were moving to another spot at speed just barely on plane, there were thousands of bluefish ( I assume) in a large school that took minutes to traverse. As we went you could see all these fish scattering from the bow due to the fire in the water. It was almost like the movies where the dolphins ride the bow wave of a large and fast ship, but this was bluefish in the phospheresence.
I think Clammer was trying to mow down every bluefish he could that night
