Blues For Smoker + Surprise

[Chinacat]

Got out nice and early before work today to find dead calm conditions
Was on a mission to find some blues for the smoker. Hunted around for awhile and was about to give up and head back in to go work. Found some birds working and crashing bait with fish on them in the bay Got my 3 fish bluefish limit and a surprise 28” bass!! Back to work, almost on time

Super light spinning rod and the hook on the hopkins was still in its mouth for picture and he jumped around putting a bend in it

They will eat this. Just need a day like today with low winds.

I could have used that today. Came on a huge school of striped bass today blitzing on sandeels. Managed a few. But they were picky.
