Excited... my first decent fishing report of the year. On the water at sunup...glassy but building easterly wind. Noticed the absence of floating grass and a lot of bait busting surface. Fished outgoing tide, near a sand bar not far from Jane Island State Park. Mostly small bluefish trashing my plastics for first hour....lost my brand new rod and reel combo try to hook one fish while holding another fish on rod between my legs
Moved on deep end of bar (6-8ft) picked up my first of 8 trout all in the 16-18 inch range, all on 4inch swimming mullet white Gulps fished bottom on 3/8 white jigheads. After my second unwanted hardhead, I moved back off the sand bar, tide had slowed up and blues appear to be gone. Switched to 5 inch white Bass Assassins under a cajun thunder popper cork and pulled 4 more Specs, one 22 and one 25 inches.
