6-19-08 Bass and Blues

Time: 4:30pm to 9:30pm
Crew:Pat, Shawn and Katie
Water Temp: Unkown
Tide: Ebb and then Flood
Wind: West 5-10 knots
Conditions: Sunny and calm
Caught: 3 Bass 29" to 38", 5 Bluefish

Decided to head to the race right after work to get some bluefish for saturdays shark trip.

Had a quick bite to eat at the marina, picked up some eels, and left for a highly anticipated eel fishing evening.

We were marking fish pretty quickly.
And it wasnt long until the first bluefish came over the sides!



After a few blues are caught the tide goes slack and I manage to hook this guy!





The tide starts to move into flood and we tried wire lining with only one bluefish to show.

Switched to eels and just about the last drift we boat this nice 38" striper!

And in the very last drift Shawn nails his first keeper of the day!


All fish before sundown were caught on diamond jigs and after sundown on eels.
