Today featured a bonanza of bluefish along the south shore beaches, and there were also stripers in the mix. I met my two sons, Jon and Ben along with Ben's girlfriend Allie, and we fished for the afternoon together. In all we landed 30 blues that ranged from 5-10 lbs. and 15 stripers that ranged from 18-26 inches. It was one of those wild days with everyone on the beach landing fish. The fish were not particularly fussy today. Jon and I caught most of our fish on poppers while Allie and Ben landed most of theirs on Cocahoes and teasers. The whole beach cleared out at dark, and by five o'clock I was the only one left fishing in the dark. I landed 5 more stripers and one blue using swimmers and a black Deceiver teaser while plugging after dark. It shows that the fish are still hitting after dark if you can stand the cold. From the reports that I am getting yesterday was equally as good as today with a big bunch of blues providing most of the action. Our fantastic November fishing along RI's south shore just continues to produce big time.
