Whole cow I hate blue fish.... BUT they sure can give you a great workout!!
Took off with the 'future' son-in-law this morning from Ragged Rock with no gas and high hopes. As I dropped a quick $130 bux at the pump the kid says, " Right or left outside the break water." 5 minutes later it was obvious! Didn't matter! Go anywhere!! (when left) the birds where so thick it almost got dark, fish crashing every where. We worked deadly dicks, we ran the fly rods, we just couldn't cast fast enough, fish on, fish on, fish on... until I thought my arms were going to fall out. More than once I don't think my lure even hit the water when something airborne slammed it. What a bloody freaking mess my boat was. Bunker chunks, blood, stink, puke from the anchor to the transom. God I hate blue fish... but.... my back is killing me, my legs are killing me, my arms are killing me but my damn face has a shit eating grin from ear to ear...
Tooled up the coast a bit for some togs on the reef but after that morning we were a little bored with the tog fishing. I fed them about a dozen crabs and we decided to head back in for an early day. Good thing. I'm just about shot now anyway... Did I tell you I hate blue fish?!
