Newport
I went to Newport yesterday with the better half and took a swing down Ocean Drive to see if any bluefish were working (she wasn't pleased) I didnt see any activity but was curious if anybody else caught there.
She hasn't left me yet BM..

Nothing but Bluefish down there. Where have all the Stripers gone?

"browse " and "buy" can often be misinterpreted. Don't ever leave your wife alone in downtown Newport... the damage can be extensive. Its cheaper to rent a moive, nuc some popcorn, put her to sleep, and then slip out of the house for a few hours of fishing. 
The blues are everywhere. They've destroyed a few of my plugs and all my soft baits. |

You probably need to be there at the right time on Ocean Dive for blues. I didnt have long to stay there unfortunately. Next time I will encourage her to spend the day with the girls so I can get out and fish hahd..

There was a coupla week period with a mix of bass and blues - but it seems like we're in a change of mode now -
There's still plenty of bait around and sporadic blitzes, but it's slowed down for sure -
Went out last nite and found a few bluefish who obviously felt they hadn't destroyed their quota of tackle for the day

Hi Crafty, i bought these plastic orange pencil poppers at ocean state job lot a few years ago that work great on blues. I dont know if they have any more but they are cheap and can take a beating from dem blue bastages...
