4/24/24 Don had a good time on the beach yesterday.---------
Fished the villa beach today...(Wednesday)
I started out fishing a DOA shrimp and caught two small flounder...only took picture of one.
Around 10:00 I hooked up withi a bluefish on my deadsticking rod fishing a fresh whiting strip.
I saw it in the trough but it bit through my leader....it was around 10 pounds.
A little while later the rod I was freelining a live pinfish went down hard. It was another bluefish and I landed this one.
High tide wasn't until 1:48 and the fish started biting around then and I caught a couple more black drum. One was only 13 inches and the other was almost 16. I also had my rod bend down hard again on the rod freeling a pinfish but the hook didn't set.
I also included pictures of the black drum in the skillet. Terri also put a couple pieces of redfish in the skillet. Neither of us could tell the difference between the black drum and the redfish. they were both delicious.

Looks quite edible andys, good to see the larger bluefish coming back, the last few years it’s been pretty slim pickings along the Jersey coast.

I'm sorry! I didn't saywhere they were caught. That report is from my brother In-law in FL. Where we use to live. OH yes I did say FL. Beach Fishing for this report. Thanks!

Have heard some reports of blues on the Jersey coast and there seems to be some better ones being caught than the last couple of years.

We had a few years when there were some very big blues off the Virginia coast. Here's one I caught that weighed 19 pounds.

Nice catch and good eating.
Speaking of blues this 15lb is one of my PB.
But as you can see they do start out small
