This post refers to Basic Patricks character and integrity. Pat could have not said a darn thing about where he hooked up with bluefish the day before I caught the fish that bested Pat by .2 pounds, but he didn't. When he came back to the house from the beach, he told us all about the blitz that he and his brother Ron were lucky enough to get in to. I have been to this beach many times and had been threatening to fish there every day I was on the Vineyard, but had not as of the time Pat gaves us the news of the blitz. Hearing that the bluefish were indeed in the area and more specifically where they had shown close to shore I decided to go there the next day. I wasn't there five minutes when the fish showed and we all ran to surfs edge. As any flyrodder will tell you it is easier or at least more helpful flyfishing, when guys are also casting plugs on the surface to blitzing bluefish when your throwing flys at the same fish. It keeps the frenzy active and it draws the blues closer to shore. These fish came up onto the beach almost and I landed three and lost one. Patricks brother caught 14 during the same time bending the hook on his Roberts' lure into an unimaginable shape. Yes, BasicPatrick is my new best friend for telling me about where he caught blues the day before, but thats the kind of guy he is. Yup.
