New Jersey Inlet Bluefish Spring 2024

Getting my first blues of the year at one of the local inlets. This was day one of a few days fishing the same spot. Haven't caught blues this big in Jersey in quite some time. The rocks are EXTREMELY slippery. Wear appropriate foot gear if attempting this type of fishing. Enjoy!
