Likewise.... we saw the birds and bait and had been catching bluefish all morning.
I was taking a break and told my wife to take the helm, i sat down and closed my eyes, told her to be on the lookout for more birds feeding.
A few minutes later she said " I keep seeing funny looking white waves"
Keeping my eyes closed I said" stay away it could be rocks"....then it hit me..... i jumped up to see pods of bonito all around us crashing on the bait. Cast into them with a 2 oz pink Jig-it and hooked up right away.....man what fun. |

Was that you in the yellow CC? You went right by me as I was in front of the avenues. White CC with blue top and side panels. |
No boat, back in the suds.

I hung out for another 1/2 hour and they didn't. I went back up the bay and went scupin'. Ended up with 2 hubcap Scup and a 4.5# Fluke. I was happy.  |
