We stopped at a tide rip on our way back to the dock. The tide rip was alive with birds, hundreds of seabirds. The birds were eating sand eels that were getting pushed to the surface by Atlantic mackerel. It was like a scene from a nature show. This is why I love fishing. The scene.

This has been a good week. The fish have come fairly easy. We've been getting the bass and blues both trolling and drift fishing with jigs and soft plastics. People love it. There has been fog and some mist but that is fine. It's the catching of fish and the beauty of the sea that people care about and remember. Bottom fishing has been more of a challenge. The big sea bass and fluke just are settled in yet in my area. But that will come.

Had five guys from upstate New York. The wanted bass and blues on light tackle, casting and jigging. Well we found some fish that were willing. For a good amount of the falling tide we had many fish. Everyone caught. I would call it a blitz. One fish after another. Gulls were feeding, fish were feeding and we all had a great time.
