Drove on the beach at first light, saw Jess and walked down to see how he was doing. He was bringing in a needle fish and there were three big swirls behind it. Threw out the only needle fish I had and hooked about a six pound bluefish. As I got him on the beach he pulled out the middle hook and the split ring. Threw it a few more times and nothing. By now the sun was coming up so I went down the beach and put out bait. Got one short but noticed a small school of bunker a little to my left. The school was small and it took five tries to snag one. Within two minutes the line was running, I set the hook and a bass about twenty pounds came out of the water. While I was fighting him he came up two more times, just so I could see how big he was before he spit the hook. He splashed around so much when I tried again the bunker were gone.
Took a ride down the beach and found more bunker, snagged a couple that swam right in then got one to stay out, he got chopped in half. The next one got a big blue that bit the hook off and then another with the same result. Went out to get more hooks and pick up Guppie. When I got back there was another school of bunker and another big blue to chop the hook off. Snagged a few more with no luck then tried bait, nothing.
BTW, everything that went wrong today was Grumpys fault. Don
