Got to witness quite the spectacle with these birds dive-bombing adult pogies right along the rocks on the North Shore this morning. I have only ever seen them on Deep Blue on the discovery channel so it was an awesome site. Get ready to the south of here as it was Bluefish that were pushing the pogies up with some slob bass cleaning up underneathe it all. I could not snag a pogie but did steal one from some gulls who could do nothing but peck at it. Tossed the head in but no cow bass cooperated. Couple of fly-guys did well despite the wind and managed some keeper bass.

Question- besides the obvious pogie live and chunk- what lures do you suggest to avoid the blues and get down to where the big bass are?

And what is that rule again about playoff baseball and good football against potentially great fishing? I am a bit torn about the afternoon/evening??????
