I started the second day of our Inshore Slam at 5:15 AM on Brant Beach. It was very foggy and misty with a light wind. There was also a hard current to the North – an 8NBait (Surf rat lingo for 8 ozs of lead and a bunker chunk) kind of day. With dolphins over the bar, it was a very fishy morning.
First in was a Dogfish. Around 8:15, my rod went down hard and I knew it wasn’t another doggie! After one helluva fight, I landed a nice yellow eyed demon. 12.44 lbs and 30″ to the fork. I am in the LBI Spring Derby and measured to the end of the tail, my Bluefish was 34 1/2″.
