Good observation Crafty. They have been very scarce - this week I had my first cigar butts in over a month. That is unheard of if you fish live eels in this neck of the woods. Even more of a puzzle since we've had loads of sandeels/bait around. Somebody/somewhere must have tons of bluefish because they also have our share.

Off to Bluefish Vegas to mate - which, given their freindly personalities, it's probably best if they do it in private.

East Passage was "run and gun" this morning. 5 to7# Blues everywhere. From Providence Point all the way to the little light house on Prudence. You have to chase them as they are up and down but the birds are all over them. They were taking anything small on top.

No boat, back in the suds.

I haven't got one, in all the times I've been out this season so far.
Yes, that is odd. |

30 eels?
When I go to the canal for the night, I get about a dozen. If I lose a few in quick succession, I switch over to single-hook plugs. IMO, Why waste the time and money? |

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I don't fish eels, but 30 seems like a lot of bait to waste. Why not switch to plugs?
