I throw epoxy jigs most of the time. Especially if they are on sand eels or silversides. Switch to something larger in profile if they are on peanuts. Maybe a stubby Hopkins or Savage Tadpole or Jumpin Minnow or Snax. This year on the Vineyard Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s seemed to be the thing for Bonito from my informal survey.

Size and color can be the deciding factor or they will hit anything flashy that gets dragged in front of them. Depends on the day.

Took a look at the epoxy jigs. Look pretty useful; nice on line article about them by Hogy. Will try next year!

I have caught some very good bluefish on epoxies as well as fast fish

Saw an Albie next to my shed today, it was a fish out of water moment, but it will soon be swimming in Cabot Timber Oil.

At least something's swimming somewhere....


Unlike these fish.....they ain't swimmin' no more - it's great that we all see the state of the fishery the same

People who pay a party boat fare want meat to take home. Maybe party boats on Long Island shouldn't target bass.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Sad.
No different than out front Newport right now with blackfish. The out of state and instate head boats and private boats hammering on those slow growing buggers is not sustainable...
