Pretty much sums up the woes of the surfcasting on LI here, extremely slow, bunker too far out to cast for, finding the bait but not the predators, really deflated me. However bottom fishing has been on fire this year...

Damn I hate when gator blues get picky. Had to resort to cheating later in the day recently by using the rusty old snag hook which rarely sees any use. Wouldn't touch anything I had and got worse as the day wore on. Still no gannets seen but a rumor of sea herring.

Big blues in Weekapaug both mornings this weekend. They liked big Danny swimmers better than leadheads or minnow lures... No bass. Now, done for the season. On the way home, saw the Wakefield bald eagle perched in its nest get buzzed by a Red Tail hawk. Pretty cool.
