Sorry it took so long for this post the fishing has been too good to get on the computer.
Fished South Cape Friday afternoon on rising tide from 4:30pm till dark. As soon as I arrived guys were on to bluefish. It took several lure selections to get them to hit but it seemed that white 5-8" poppers with bucktails were the key. Once the bucktails were chewed off I had to switch lures to one with a fresh bucktail. It was a fish every cast for a while ranging in size from 5 to 10 lbs. I almost forgot how hard a 10lb blue fights the best one was one that I foul hooked on the tail. I thought it was a monster.
Saturday morning from dawn til around 9:00am was slower but still produced several blues in the 10lb. range.
Well I have to repaint and put new bucktails on several lures so gotta go.
Tight lines
Brian

yes Marc I was fishing from shore. Some of the fish were pretty far out and could only be caught by the guys who could get their plugs out the extra 20 feet. There were alot of fish close to shore also
