Blue Fish

This proud fisherman holds up a blue fish that he just hauled in early Monday afternoon. He caught the blue on cut whiting. It was one of several blues he had taken on the day. Earlier in the day he caught some small pompano, but no pomps big enough to keep. He said that he saw a 5 to 6 foot black tip shark jump out in front of him. He suspected the shark and blues have scared off the pompano and whiting.

Fishing conditions are not ideal. A fresh batch of sea weed is moving in with the incoming tide that is making fishing far from enjoyable. There is a strong north to northeast wind, but you could hold bottom with a heavy sinker. The water is very clean except for the sea weed.
