Fish Caught: Seven Blue Sharks
I had six fresh bluefish from the day before so we cruised to the south of block just in time to catch the sunrise over Block Island.
(Click to Enlarge)With the seas forecasted, wind direction and Snugharbor tournament pressure I wanted to be sure to select a good spot that would allow us to zip home if the seas really kicked up and also not a known piece of structure on a map that other people would be fishing.
I selected an area about 10 miles south of the acid barge.
For the first two hours I was really questioning my decision, since we did not have any runoffs.
But it wasn't to much longer until a REALLY little guy took the bait.

No mako's or threshers, but we did release 7 bluesharks at the side of the boat.
Every one on board had a chance on the rod.
JimF also got to try his new 16VSX on a nice blue dog!
That is one powerful reel!
(Click to Enlarge)Came home is some choppy seas, but kept it down around 20mph for comfort.
I did mark a nice hole about 1 mile in diameter that is not on the charts. It is about a 40 foot drop. I going to give that a shot next weekend!
