Our luck changed today near Orient Point on the north eastern tip of Long Island when we hooked up a 30 foot sailboat on two rods simultaneously. *The sailboat fought valiantly for several minutes amidst some heated discourse by both boat owners but in the end he broke off, taking about $30 worth of lures away with him. It was some sort of omen of things to come however. *Although discouraged by the breakoff I immediately rerigged both rods and minutes later we had a strike from a very feisty bluefish just south of Plum Gut. *Unfortunately he was a bit on the small side resulting in a donation to Davey Jones. * Ten minutes later we had another strong bite *from a secong bluefish. * This one got almost to the boat but *gave one last minute jump and flip which was successful in throwing the hook. *Close but no cigar. It looks like we'll be eating out tonight. You *are* using wire leaders for those blues, right? Would you have eaten them if you'd landed them? How would you've fixed 'em? ============ My wife is a genius at cooking bluefish. *I filet them, and then she cuts away all of the dark meat (too oily), and then pan fries the rest adding some breading, garlic, fresh onion and mint. *It really turns out very nicely. Probably a good thing you weren't using braided line, it might have cut the damn sailboat in half. I'm assuming you weren't, 'cause you didn't say you sunk the sailboat. |
