Saw about 6 schoolies caught at various beaches. But it was a gorgeous day.

Same to report - went out yesterday pm to get to know a new rod/reel setup (Tsunami Airwave 10' with a Shimano Baitrunner 4500 and 30lb Fireline crystal), saw lots of birds (gulls and a few gannetts) working along the Avenues - and saw some big fish breaking the surface (that I now realise were tuna). Lost a schoolie there, but got one later in Matunuck. Was glad not to get a skunk on the first time out with that rig!!
Superstitious, moi? I am a fisherman, after all....
Out again today in Matunuck this pm, there were a lot of birds all over (gulls), and LOTS of bait - I had to give up using lures with trebles as they were snagging peanuts on every cast. It was only marginally better with single hook lures. Only got one hit despite all of the bait, another schoolie that was kind enough to clear the skunk.
Other than that, no sign of gamefish working the bait at all. Still, lovely afternoon, and the stiff SW wind was pretty bracing
