Nice going rip plugger. The bigger blues seem to be missing from our jersey shores now. How big are the ones you are getting and what are they feeding on?

[Rip-Plugger]

Thanks Buckethead.
they are feeding on bunkers and atlantics now,they seem to be very nomadic as they are here then they are 4 miles away then they show up 2 days later.i hit them just perfect and was in the right spots.
they are running from 7-12 lbs with a few up to 15 pounds once in a few.

believe it or not,I got the plug out and the fish swam away fast/strong.
the center hooks treble had only one of it's 3 in the back of the roof of it's mouth,the single 5/0 tail hook was through the throat tissue where it looks like an accordion.
I took my very long nosed pliers and it all worked out which was a good thing,I didn't want to kill the fish,hope it made out ok.

I have to say some of those bluefish are impressive. It looks like you are catching them in the day too? Could I ask if it's a dawn/dusk thing or do you catch them at other times? In Jersey whenever we get a bluefish bite it never seems to last that long maybe 30 minutes to an hour. Awesome fish thanks for sharing.

[Rip-Plugger]

well,around here in the rivers at least they seem to be triggered to the bite by the transition from dark to light.
this action day started at around 6:15 am,then it opened up a bit later when it got lighter out,it was a very overcast day that day.
it was a good am that day,the next morning I only got 1 fish and had several smashes.

Nice "catching" RP. Send some of them down our way.

[Rip-Plugger]

this gator gave a very powerful fight and slammed the plug like a MF bomb.
