All booofish. How deep were you? What pound wire were you using?
I know the reason you were catching them at 3 knots as opposed to 1-2 was that the faster you go the higher up in the water column the umbrella was going. Stripers like the bottom and the blues love it up higher. They could also be dogfish too.. Just a thought
And 7" shad those are pretty big, if your looking for blues you need smaller plastic, they dont explode on it like a striper will but more of bite the last half of the bait. Its the same as eeling you know your into bluefish when your eel comes up with half of it missing.
