Bluefish!!!

The past three evenings have been very exciting at one of my favorite south shore locations.  There are tons of small bait and plenty of action using top-water and subsurface artificials.  I had the pleasure of catching some 2-4 lb. blues on some of my own artificial poppers that I made out of some downed tree limbs from the yard over the winter.  Pretty cool. Jen (my beautiful wife) was able to land a couple of nice blues last evening as well.  I was very proud.

The picture here was taken by Dave Pickering who was also on the jetty yesterday.   You can see more at his excellent blog:  http://ristripedbass.blogspot.com/  
Ferocious blitzes like this occurred off and on for the entire time Jen and I were there.

Two days ago Jen and I had to run for cover during a massive blitz that stretched from the shore to the first bend of the jetty in order to escape lighting and a monsoon type rain.  As long as the bait is there, I'm sure the fish will remain as well.  See you in the surf! - jc
