The boat has caught five large blues (30+", 12-15 lbs) so far while targeting Striped Bass. They are a good fight. I am not allowed to tell you where I was, but I was on the water in a boat. I was using lures that I believe target bass, both sinking and surface lures. Any more specific and it might be some kind of burning. Seems about the same number of blues as I normally get. They tear the crap out of tackle. I fish on Shimano reels 4000 series of spheros, sahara, and saragossa, with medium/light duty poles. I use 20 lb braid and a 50 lb mono leader. Blues really tear the leaders up.

Blues are around and catchable. They make good tuna bait. I like them smoked.

We took some guys out June 5th and got this pic. Pat's arm got sore from fighting it on LT. I threw back 2 big ones with no pics, and my brother threw back one.



Here is the one my brother kept.

Pulled into Pamet Harbor yesterday. Guy had a 35" bluefish. Monster thing.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
