I miss the east coast fishery sometimes. Bluefish can do some amazing damage to your lures. Thanks for the pics

Looks like a killer trip! Almost makes me want to have kids and move to the East Coast. Almost.

I can't wait until we put the youngster' in a harness and watch the kite go down off the beach. Fifty pound kid with a Yellowtail to match---then I'll ask him if he can remember those Stripers and Bluefish

.

I've heard the 'pound for pound' comparisons from the proud fisherman of the East, but having caught both---the answer is

. Hands down!

Darkhorse I totally agree, with the one stipulation that you rarely have a day when you catch 30 YT. Catching 30 Bluefish of 20-30lb range on a September day back east is a normal, and an arm exhausing occurence, even these days. Here you see a bait ball with birds working and it's hit or miss - maybe, maybe not. Back east you see Bunker getting schooled up with birds, it's grab your nuts, soak a Hopkins, and hang on.
