1652.0. "PLUM ISLAND INPUT...." by WMOIS::LANGELIER_B () Thu Jul 25 1991 11:13

    
    
    
        I was just wondering if anyone has been to plum island in the
     last couple of weeks or so. I plan on heading up sunday morning
     and was wondering if anyone has any reports on how they did up 
     there... Any input would be helpful as far as bait,lure, etc..

1652.1Plum Island was hotCGVAX2::MCKENNAThu Jul 25 1991 11:3821
    I was at plum island friday 7-19 and we layed into the blues in a big
    way.  I was standing on the beach next to the jetty on the river side
    when all of a sudden there were pogies trying to get up on the beach. 
    They were being chased by the blues.  Next thing you know we had 8
    blues beached.  We were using Mackarel plugs. I really dont think it
    made any difference to the blues though. They'll eat anything when
    there feeding the way they were friday.  While I had one on, I stopped
    for a second to take a look out into the river and all I could see for
    about 100 yards across were pogies jumping out of the water running
    from the blues. It was exhilerating!!  Dont make the mistake of not using 
    steel leaders. I lost one because of this.
    
    Has anyone else had any luck further up the coast?  If you have I would
    greatly appreciate any info as to where the blues are this weekend.
    
    
    
    						Good Luck!!
