We were greeted yesterday with HEAVY seas, the remnants of the recent storm. Still, the fishing was ON. We started out in 52 ft. of water straight out the inlet, stopping on the bird play. That spot only produced a couple of Bluefish. We then headed to the beach. At first the water was quite dirty, but pretty quickly the breeze pushed in clearer water and the fishing exploded. Bird play pointed the direction as did the massive clouds of Sand Eels. It was about 50/50 between Bass and Blues. The Bluefish were huge. Biggest around 18lbs.
If heading out, I suggest you head North of the inlet and try around 38ft of water. Large Ava's are producing best. We still have quite a few weeks left in the season. Get out there!
