Blues FRENZY on Falmouth

Yo guys, I went to Falmouth today for a party boat fishing, but it turned out that it only does a morning trip. Damn it, I was so disappointed. So I skidded to Eastman's. They told me that the blues are everywhere. I spent so much on things I don't really need like another spool of seaguar flouro leader for no reasons while I had one at home. I fished off the Falmouth Heights at the incoming tide, high tide, and ebbing tide. I used a fillet of macks on my SB rig and casted into the water. Then BAM, I caught a 2 lbs bluefish on my hook. I caught six blues today! They are everywhere on Falmouth like crazy. I even caught one that spitted out a peanut bunker or a small silverside. They even chomped a head of mack like crazy. Lures or plugs don't do squat for now in this month. Oh, by the way, there aren't stripers around. Then I guess that they must have scared them off.

Uh...Notaro...you'll hook up a lot more frequently if throw tins or bucktails or poppers at the blues. They'll eat anything that moves.

I tried my orange bluefush bomb, 3 oz kastmaster w/ a green tube, and 2 1/4 oz roberts ranger white and red stripe at them. The water was choppy and the current was strong.
