The beach was a blast. Didn’t catch but one bluefish, but the fishing was a ton of fun, went kayaking in the sound yesterday and that was awesome, too. Rolled in about 2 AM and went straight to the beach - near full moon + high tide = night fishing. Gotta say, surfcasting is very different from bass fishing, but I definitely loved it.
The dog LOVED the beach and was super well behaved. However, he now has a new list of things he is not allowed to eat, including but not limited to:
Lizards
Sand fleas (real or lures)
Bluefish (fresh caught or cut for bait)
Bloodline Ahi Tuna, even if it IS just being used for bait
Sand crabs
Various unidentifiable gunk on the beach.
