Hello went fishing yesturday from 7am-130am as usual could not catch a whiting for the life of me for the first 2 hours. Finally caught one cut it up and what do i find! Bluefish bluefish bluefish! Everywhere caught a ton. Had what looked like a 10 plus pounder on the line but it jumped itself off. Still fun neverless but i did not get the redfish i am after. I was fishing around station 18.
Went back again that night since i have fish fever. From 7pm-11pm. Caught one whiting. Threw a half of a bluefish on my large 8000bg reel. Had 3 nice size hits but it spit the bait everytime. I had the bait hooked through the mouth and not near the tail where it was biting. Going to rig the hook near the tail next time using a zip tie and hopefully i get em. Going to try mountrie next time i bring out the big rod at night since its deeper there.
Also i am buying a rod and reel for my wife i have been looking at the penn pursuit combo and finnally it went on sale today on penn website. Most of the reel rods and combos are 20% off with free shipping!
