Yellow Canal Specials fished slow. wouldn't take them fast. They're headed for the smoker. The Race was alive with blues from the campers to the traps. Looked like a blender. The fish were in the first wave watching me, weird they wouldn't take the lure, had to cast out to fool them. I think that the blues are getting smart...that is a scary thought right there..

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Not one seal! There wasn't room for one. Those blues are at or over 3 foot. No seal in it's right mind woulda been there.

Jim! I can't wait to see you and Pat, I'll try to leave some of those "gators" for you.
That's one tough avatar to earn, fits you.  |

LOL. 25 years ago I took my then fiance for a boat ride. We passed a school of bluefish so I helped her catch one. When we landed it she took one look at the plug in its mouth and said "that looks like it would hurt the fish". I married her, but she hasn't been out in my boat since. Thank God for bluefish. |

George, mine doesn't fish with me anymore, either. Not since her Dad grabbed the rod and said she'd lose it. 33 years ago.

Got out late this AM. Didn't miss anything, there must be millions of blues feeding right to the shore. It's unreal.

Danny and I found them early, then my wife and I found them later on
lost much pluggage, good thing I know a guy who makes them
was there any place the blues were NOT at today?   
the wife has never seen that carnage before, pogies leaping out of the water  |

The Senior Angler was using a plug with no hooks and tormenting them. I was a pig and was getting two at a time. Some monsters, plus if I hadn't tightened up the drag I would have landed that seal. I had him beat. Anyone seeing a Horsehead with a yellow polaris with custom paint stuck to it's head, let me know I want my plug back.

Why even try.........
