Well
eventually the good Blue Fish bite was destined to end, today was that day. For
the last month it has been really consistent but today the well was empty. Only
one very skinny Bluefish and a few Jacks were landed. Fortunately I had brought
some frozen bait as a backup. We headed into the ocean just as the wind
switched and picked up. The ocean got bumpy really quickly and we only had a
small window to catch a few fish in. The sharks were ready to bite and Barry
had one on within a minute of us stopping. It was a non jumper and a bottom
hugger. Barry really had to work the fish to get him in. Next was Joan’s turn,
her first shark. Her shark was a real jumper and put on a good display wearing
itself out in the process and shortening the overall time to land the fish.
Joan did awesome in hooking, fighting and landing her first shark all on her
own. After these two fish the wind was telling us to leave so we headed in
before we overstayed our welcome.
