Bloofish Bonanza...
I fished one of my favorite stretches of Long Island's (NY) south shore from 11 p.m. Friday night thru 6 p.m. Saturday, pausing only an hour or so for sleep.
The bluefish hype that you might be hearing on other fishing boards is TRUE.
The razor-lipped torpedoes are HUNGRY and AGGRESSIVE and TUG HARD, and they are here in HUGE NUMBERS.
Tally of bluefish for me:
I LOST COUNT AFTER THE FIRST THREE DOZEN.
Tally of striped bass:
Seven, with only two that were 28 inches or longer.
This seems to indicate that the school of larger fish has moved out and is New England-bound.
The bluefish invasion is sure to please - I for one am grateful to these ferocious critters for the fun they provide!
Get those poppers, tins and bucktails warmed up!
