Fun day of fishing
Message:
Was great to be out, I've been working a lot. Anyway, had great night out with my son teaching him how to use a popper. WE practiced from shore before moving into the water. A couple of casts in from water, bam! slap! splash! A really hard, loud smack, and fish on! Nice bluefish! Great fight until I realized my son just cast over my line with a bluefish on! I'm always telling him to move further away, now he knows why. Lets just say I was lucky to land this nice 26" fat, fat blue! I had to walk to shore, after I locked down on her jaw him with my new fish grabber, with my son and the fish and the two rods to untangle and unhook the fish. That grabber works a lot better on bigger fish. "Wow, thats one of the biggest we've caught!" exclaimed my son. My son decided that was enough and he would rather play his gameboy and watch me catch more fish. Awhile later I had another topwater explosion and another good fish on. Two big hits two, nice blues. Doesn't normally work out like that. As it got dark I had an explosion with a fish rocketing out of water like 8 feet, I've never seen a blue jump that high, it was smaller and shook the hook. Then I had a couple misses before another fish on. Still big, but not like the first. Todays bluefish were so much fun, they were all big enough to give me great little fights and all hit on topwater while using my chrome 3 1/2" popper. The blues were 20"-26". Great night, this is why I fish!

It's nice to see that the topwater bite is on for [i:090f90b3cc][b:090f90b3cc]someone[/b:090f90b3cc][/i:090f90b3cc]. Now you're making me wish that I lived closer to the shore. If I did, I'd probably fish the salt, too. Nice! :D

I was out at the same spot; 2 small bluefish around 20" on the surface. There were tons of snappers out there, too.
