X2 night! These are some monsters. They've bit through my line three times already. Thank God I only lost a few bucktails. Head-shaking fun.

Lordy what a great bluefish bite. I was worried about the rain but I didn't have to be. Made my way to a SS inlet around 5 p.m. yesterday. When I got there it was a little slow I think it was slack tide. Then within a half hour all hell broke loose and everyone had bent rods. Most of the people were respectful, not too many tangles with others. It was a blue fish catching frenzy. Got them up to 15 pounds on metal and buck tails. Left them biting.

I think the inlets are the best bet right now. I probably fished the same inlet as you. Fished 6 to 9pm. They bit into the dark. Once it was dark I broke out a yellow color SP and they kept hitting that as well.

A good week of solid bluefish tackle busting action. Went out last night. Someone mentioned the water had gotten colder. My reading was 57 degrees and I only managed 2. Have been getting them to the 15# class but that was a few days ago when the water was 52. Inlets and back bays, mostly bucktails and diamond jigs.

Same for me great week of alligator fishing. These things are brutes. Switched over to bucktails to save on lost tackle. Picked up a few short stripers as well.

I'm out to dinner now with Mom, might try later on this evening. I hope the heavy rain didn't chase those big brutes away. Tons o fun.

Ocean was rough, picked up 9 most on metal this AM in the inlet.
Had to work for them, they wouldn't hit a popper. Fun trip.
