Got back from vacation in the outer banks on Sunday. I got to test out my new rod in the surf and after consulting with a few locals...wound up catching a bunch of bluefish.
I stuck to fishing during sunrise and incoming tides, and every now and then a school would move through and I would get lucky. Nothing big...the blues were trout-sized at most, but they put a surprising bend in the 8 wt. The biggest was maybe 13". For being my first fish in the surf PERIOD, catching them on a fly was a blast.
