I skipped along the coastline from 2nd beach to FAdams ....got 2 bass to the boat, 2 bloofish to match em, saw horse-mackerel surface feeding near the lighthouse, but no sign of any pelagic-mini-meez anywhere, ....Sat still for a couple of hours this morning and boated 7 Tog, would have stayed longer but the SB emptied our bait-bucket- lotta action out there, just gotta sift through the shortz and C-Basstidges

So not ready to hang it up yet ... but the end is near
boatings made me so surf-lazy, but maybe I'll find the drive to don the wetsuit next week ... even if just for nostalgia-effects,

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

sometimes just being in the surf in the dark just takes you back to some special place that nothing else will

Spent 100+ nights a year in the surf for 30+ years, all in the dark. I can't even fish when it's light out.

No boat, back in the suds.

I saw a bunch caught at night when I used to go on night bluefish party boat trips in NY. They'll eat a chunk like any other fish.

The mates would keep them, and sell them to some Chinese dudes who'd meet the boat back at the dock. Along with bluefish that the fares didn't want to take home.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Depends on distance. From shore they sell a weighted Albie snak hook which could help. Or a expoxy jig 7/8 or heavier. Those are my 2 main go to lures .. deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s at one time produced . Not sure why albies don’t seem interested in them .

Or try a casting egg and fly . That worked extremely well for me this year . When they were finicky . And you can get some distance..

Hope you get 1or more
