A couple of years ago, east of Block, speed jigging bluefish, had a bat middle of the day that keep buzz us on the boat, til I hit it with the tip of the rod. Was a bit spooky the bat just keep coming back with in a foot or two of us til it was banged with the rod tip. Did not kill it, it just moved on after that.

Tight Lines!!!!

Bats are harmless, they like to come to the vibrations made by the line especially braid. Next time youre out take the lure of your rod and swing the rod back and forth over your head pretty fast till it makes that whislying sound and they'll dive at it. People are the ones you have to worry about
