Got caught in the RM fog?

Caught....displaced..yes.
Was confused when the wave action was behind me when I had not walked around the end. At least I did not think I did. Weird fishing trip.

Fog has been very intense the last week.

Well....fished from 1:15-10:30 this morning.
Out front until 8:30, not a touch.
Water really got cloudy on the incoming.
And then the fog rolled in
Was about ready to call it a trip, but tried an area on the back side for 30 minutes, nothing.
One more try at another backside spot and FINALLY I get a few blues, landed 7 between 28 and 32 inches.
Was great getting a nice bend in the rod, love catching blues this size. Didn't see any bait the whole trip.

Here is a pic of a Blue on one of Rip-Pluggers metal lips. Always more fun on catching on a friends plug.

Nice looking blue. They are all over now good to bend the rod. Can't wait for some stripes too.

Got tired of waiting for the striper and got into some nice bluefish right before dark SS inlet. No bait showing at all but the blue devils were there. Pulled a bakers dozen to 10lbs on tins and buck and pork. Lots o fun.

Fished this morning from 1:00 to 8:00 with a friend.
First on the back side until 4:30 or so.
New water for us, managed one 30" blue on a SS bottle.
Moved around to front for first light, got a short bass on the same SS bottle.
Then some blue action for a few hours, wind a bit in the face, nice looking water, needed to be out on the bar to get to them.
I got 3 more, he landed at least 8. They were 25" to 35", on poppers and darters mostly. Droped and missed some.
Lots of fun out there, had the beach to ourselves, great time.
Clean cool white water
