Nice mid summer catching, man.

It's refreshing to see some large bluefish still around. I hear they are tight to the bunker schools, out in the Sound. Same thing in NJ. More bunker than anything else, but still some larger bluefish to 10# around......People may not be getting the numbers of bass, and from time to time you hear fishermen complain about big blues "getting in the way".....

Large blues provide rod bending action during the summer doldrums. I'll take the fight of a few 10-15 # blues any day over a bass that size.......Good work Roddy.

Was out fluking on Saturday and pulled up a 6-7# fluke on the first drift. As I go to net this fluke I see this 12-15lb bluefish swimming half dead in circles on the surface. My guess he was improperly released by one of the two boats trolling bunker spoons near me.

yes it is,my friend and I met up and the gators were beating the crap out of my roundnoser,I only landed 1but,was hit and hooked up so many times.
when the sun got up,they moved on,it was fun watching them slam that fat *** plug then jump and shake it out.
my buddy laughed when I pulled that piece from my bag,it was in there to test out as it never touched water before.
when he saw me getting slammed so many times he stopped laughing fast!

I saw one that kept coming by us,I believe it was one my friend released as it had big damage to the left side of it's cheek.
it was moving fast but,would stay around going back and forth.nice catch with the summer flounder,fine eating right there!

thanks CH,I love it when they slam a big swimmer on top,nothing like it.
sounds like a train crash in the dark.

Awesome pics and fish. You are really living the life. Why would you say fishing is so good in the fall in Ct? Thanks and thanks for sharing those great action shots.

I guess so many rivers larger and smaller plus lots of backwater areas along with brackishwater baitfish that hang around.
