Your Best Blitz Experience?

HA good story.

Last year in July on the vineyard I was down island with my family. I was with my two sisters and their boy friends and figured I would just throw a few casts seeing it was hot and July and the fishing would prob be slow.

Well we get to the beach and there are herring all over the beach, and fish just furiously pounding them against the shore line. We only had two rods so we had to take turns. Anyway between the five of us we caught 10 blue fish the largest was 16 lbs and 15 stripers up to 36 inches, and three fluke!!! It was so cool seeing the fish two feet off the beach with the fluke swimming right with the blue fish and stripers.

At one point our white bomber broke off and before I know it, my sister swims right threw the fish to get it, about 50 feet off shore. My other sister is walking the beach and throwing all the herring back into the water!! It goes to show, sometimes the best fishing is when you are completely unprepared at the wrong time of year, wrong time of day, with the wrong people!!!

Several years ago on the Saturday of Columbus day weekend a friend and I hit a sun up to sun down blitz on a Long Island beach. The surf was light we saw many sights this day. At times 20 lb bluefish were chasing 5-8 lb bass and weakfish right up onto the beach. Many times that day a wave would crest and dump hundreds of big weakfish onto the sand with these monster blues in hot pursuit. We spent some of the morning putting the fish back into the water that got stranded high and dry. We caught small keeper bass and for the most part monster blues. My biggest blue came out of this blitz at 22 lbs. This fish swallowed a 3 oz pencil popper all the way down with only 1" of the plug still showing like a cigar. My muscle ached for 3 days after that blitz.
