I'll never forget the blitz of blues I hit on the Vineyard a few years back. They hit on every cast for the entire dropping tide, off East Beach, from Wasque to Dike Bridge. Every freakin' fish was over 13 lbs. The biggest I had was 17 and change and it's the only fish I ever hooked that bottomed out my 3M Lami S-glass. There were two fish landed that almost hit 20. I kept at them after dark with darters. Next morning, I was so stiff I could hardly get out of bed.
And, as my luck usually has it, this was the day after the Derby ended with a 14 topping the shore leader board
But, then again, this happened while the beach was almost empty cause everyone went to the awards ceremony.
I'm not a big fan of the yellow eyed razor toothed bastages, but they earned my respect that day. These fish were big, mean, they had the feedbag on, and East Beach has just enough current to make things interesting.
