Jbay last night, fished from shore, nothing but bunker, coming through by the 100's, not many fish caught, but they did get some large bluefish. I met a newbie who just started pluggin a few days ago. Other than snagging bunker, it was pretty slow, so I decided to give the dude a few lessons, pointers. He did ok, even had a rubber jig out there for more than 10 mins without hanging up. Nice to meet ya, man, hope you got into fish this morning.
Jbay today, 9am - 4pm. Wanted to avoid the boat traffic where everyone was fishing the usual hyped up area. Set out at a different launch, met up with another kayaker about 1 1/2 miles from the launch (lucky for me! 
)
He knew that water, and we fished it together for awhile until he had to leave. He got 2 bass, 6 bluefish using chartreuse shads. I got one bass, one bluefish, on a pink fin-s.
There was either a grass shrimp hatch or there were small spearing/baitfish in the flats areas. There were also pods of bunker moving through periodically. One pod, in the thousands, was alike a wall of moving water. They moved too fast and I couldn't keep up. So we focused our attention on the sporadically working birds and the small bait.
After he left, I pulled onto a sedgebank to take a leak. I picked that one because it had current moving past it. Before pushing off again, I decided to work the water with an Ace baits medic super spook. From the 2nd cast on, I was into fish for the next 3 hours of the outgoing until slack tide.
Total for that pit stop, one bass around 26", 35-40 bluefish landed 7-13lbs, and at least twice that many strikes that didn't result in hookups. I had a blast fighting those angry fat bluefish, really enjoyed myself!

Backside of Jones this morning, pretty windy, but bearable. 3 short bass on clams.

Fished GSB on the incoming today. It was windy, got 3 short bass on a pencil, and quite a few big blues.

RM area out front today for an hour. One bass 22" on a bucktail with porkrind. I did see birds working bait, but they were too far off.

A NS bay area early AM, 3 schoolies to 25", dannies and chicken scratch bombers.

I go out last Sat after work and caught 16 Blues in Peconic Bay. Kept 5 for the smokehouse. Sunday Morning I tried Moriches Bay, but the wind and dirty water hampered my efforts I raised no fish.
This morning I fished another spot in Moriches and landed 6 Stripers on topwater plugs. I also dropped a large fish at my feet. I fished from 5:30 till 6:45.

Great pics, jimbob, especially the sunrise. 
Never had smoked bluefish before, they say smoking them takes the oily taste away? Nice report.

I went out this afternoon to Moriches Bay the wind was east at 10mph mostly cloudy. I caught 2 small Bass on a creek chub popper and Zara spook. I had some other hits the tide was low and incomming, not the best tide for this spot.
Darkskies, Smoked bluefish is really good, I think that the fact that they are oily is good for smoking as it really holds the smoke flavor. thanks for the interest in the pictures I will try to keep them comming.

Those are great pics Jimbob! Looks like you have had a awesome run this week. I fished GSB but got 
Just wasn't my night.

JimBob, you have a great eye for framing the picture, that's most of the battle in picture composition101. I can't wait to see what any videos you might take will look like. I already started taking videos, but I really suck at it so far. Have to keep my hand steady and learn not to insert my crazy comments when I'm havin a gooood time fishin. Silence is golden!

Back side of gsb last night, I don't know where the fish were, but they weren't there. Bucks, shads, bombers, swimmers.

I went out to a Moriches back bay spot yesterday morning and this morning before work I caught 3 short Bass yesterday on topwater. I caught 5 Stripers this morning 2 of which were keepers of 28" and 30" all on topwater.

jimbob you're like a press photographer that focuses on bass! Great pix, I really like that one of the bass in the water and the other one with the mouth open. Thanks for sharing. I fished the back side of jones this morning, last of the outgoing. Foggy, but the wind wasn't too bad for that location. One bass 24", bucktail.
-
NS this morning, incoming tide, 1 bass a little over keeper, released, and one more that was in pre-school, about 14"Schoolbus bomber. It seems like the water coooled down a few degrees.
Those are incredible pics, Jimbob, the one with the bass in the front and sunrise in the back looks suitable for framing. Keep em comin.
