Bluefish Bonanza | September 8, 2010

Newly-wedded nimrod, Matt, took his new wife to Great Point, Nantucket this month for some honeymoon action. It included (among other things), catching many bluefish.


Within a few hours, 48 blues were landed – we filled a large barrel. The largest, measuring in at 31 inches, was caught and reeled aboard by lovely Jennifer. Since we were not prepared for such a haul, we gave the fish to the captain, who chopped them up and used them for shark bait.


We fished "the rips" at Great Point; the spot where currents roil over the shallow sandbar. Seals could be seen basking in the shade of the lighthouse on the point.


It was a great day on the water. We'd recommend Captain Fred and the Herbert T to anyone.


We are planning to make this an annual event.
