Catching Bait

The past day and a half has been nuts! It all began with a bluefish surfcasting tuna bait run Wednesday evening.  We're pretty sure we've found a spot down Cape that will consistently produce small bluefish from shore-which is a rarity.  The spot offers easy access to a deep, dredged ...
