Headed to West End inlet this AM, nothing doing in dark. Lost a fish on darter in the light, then caught 2 blues between 30 and 35 inches (metal lips).
Lot of guys fishing in the day light, only saw or heard of two other Blues caught.
First Blues of the year for me, they are fun.

Headed to West End inlet Monday AM again, two short bass and 4 blues.
All between 20 and 25 inches. Lost 3 larger fish, likely the big gators.
Bass on black teaser, plugs were getting hit, not hooked up.
Had a 7" loaded redfin knocked into the air in close, could hear the bbs rattling.

Have been fishing a little E of there, similar results. The big bass seem to have breezed past montauk and are at the ccc already. Things sure are changing. Nice going on the gators, they are fun.

Fished the Sound, West, Sunday AM. East wind made it murky, weedy, plasticly. Lost a fish on an HH Metal lip in the dark. Then picked up two short bass on Pojee.
