Smac,
It has been steady with fish to the 20's. Some nights have had very big numbers of fish for some. The albie blitzs have been sporadic but when they move in everyone was hooking up. No shore bones to speak of. I noticed several shore 30's weighed in this morning. There have been some big blues too. It is not "hot" by any means but there have been some fishy nights. This weather will shakem up. Give me a call after this next blow, and before next weekend and we'll go out.
Next weekend my brother will be visiting and I think if the weather holds I may take him on the boat over to the area of my 2008 calendar and toss some eels into the shore and see what that yields. If not I'll be on the beach.
DZ, nice to see you visit the "big" island. I hope to cross paths with you again later this fall on the little island. That seal is friggin huge. Matt was telling me he will eat any fish EXCEPT an albie...he spits it out, time and time again, even when cut into bite size chunks...he spits it out and lets it sink to the bottom but will take the bass, blue or bone fillet down in one bite...his favorite seems to be the bluefish. That thing has got to be 8' long and 3+' in dia.
