4 for 5 Today...but only Bluefish

Figured today would be my first surf trip of the year, so off I went....on the beach in LBI @ 6:30 am with high tide @ 8:30. Fished 2 rods--1 with bunker and 1 with clams. Didn't take long and I had my first fish of the season on, but it was only a bluefish. Ended up getting 5 total with one coming unbuttoned. All blues. Biggest was 8.6 lbs. All on bunker chunks, couldn't buy a knockdown on the clam rod. All fish on the incoming tide..as soon as it turned it shut down. O well...no stripes, but still a decent day.

Congrats on the first fish. But you can't complain the way them blues fight. Were they the long thin ones needing a good fattening up like usual spring blues.

that's an awesome day if you ask me.... at least bluefish bite... can't get them stripers to..... damn stuck up fish....

Actually they were not as thin as they normally are this time of year. Never complain about catchin fish, I just wish they tasted as good as the striped one's

Nothing wrong with some action from the choppers! As long as they aren't tearing up your plugs! Nice work.

I guess better then not geting anything

Sound like a good day to me!! Congrats!!

Bluesfish

Sounds like you had a good day.. Hopefully next time you'll get some with Stripes. <)))))<
