Just before the sun set, in crystal clear water, I saw a dark cloud of bait moving closer to the beach I was fishing. When it got into shallow water about 25' from shore, the blues and bass attacked. I cast just beyond the chaos and hooked into a large bluefish, as i was unhooking it, the feeding frenzy continued. Next cast a striped bass hit my lure, then another large blue, it went on for a half hour or so before it got dark and it ended.

Gannets. 6-10lb Blues. Dinks. Large peanuts. Sea Herring. Bill. Hillary.  That's my 100% accurate morning surf report. lol |

Was on SoCo yesterday also. 260 miles of awful. A total water/surf condition change with even a little Easterly in the wind. Only consolation is that I burned just about as much gasoline as Numbskull does just going out of the Harbor.

Lower Vineyard Sound had loads of small bass, gannets, sea herring, 6-9# blues, and occasional bigger bass to 25# when I was out Saturday. Hurts that this gale will keep me away from them for several critical days. I think people will have quit fishing along RI long before the fish are gone.
