Report:
Started shortly after 3PM. A few pods of bait showing in the glassy calm; no hits on lures. About 4:10PM a blitz developed. Landed 9 bluefish, all released, until about 5:15PM. Size ranged from 15" to 25", w/ most more thatn 20". Picked only 1 more after the blitz subsided. All fish caught on metal as a longer cast seemed to be needed. The bait was further out, not on the beach as it was on previous days in this spot.
