Fished Friday morning with my friend Tom and a neighbor. Caught 5 blues in the 3-5 lb range. Took a walk at low tide and realized we were on a bar in the morning, so on Saturday morning we moved south to deep water I had noted at low tide. Caught a couple blues and then my buddy hooked up with a 38″ stripper, caught landed and filleted for dinner. I had a short and another blue.
Sunday was a bust. On Monday we went down an hour before high. Wind was howling out of the northeast and lots of grass in the water. Decided to fight the grass and used 8 oz. to hold bottom. We each caught 2 blues at 32″. All released. All fish were caught on bunker and 9.0 circle hooks. Changed to 80lb leader after getting bit off twice. Made the difference.
