The N.J. Surface Iron - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've eaten plenty of blues and the young ones are delicious. I don't think it's a real fish fry in the Outer Banks without a barrel of fresh-caught bluefish. Fried blues, hushpuppies, coleslaw, and fresh-baked pie are the staff of life. Good memories.

SNAPPERS

Baby blue fish - like piranha they were. lol.

We used a small silver Hippy Lure to catch them, similar to a Kastmaster.
I caught thousands of these things.

They were good if you floured and pan fried them in a cast iron frying pan, then added a dash of red wine vinegar before you ate them.

Like vinegar french fries with bones.

wow a discussion on NJ surface lures an no mention of the vaunted Hopkins?

also you need wire leader for blues. even then it only lasts a few fish before it needs a change. in a blitz you could be changing it 5 or 6 times.

30 fish at 15-25 lbs a pop- you don't have too many of those kinds of days on LJ.
