The flats are hot with Blues and surface action is popping up regularly.  Even if there are no fish showings, a little prospecting with intermediate lines or a top-water plug will produce strikes.

The Fairfield Beach area remains active with sand eels and silversides, and fish are there consistently.  You can expect a mixed a mixed bag of species with blues in the majority so wire is a must.  But there are bass in the shallows at first light, and one angler this week brought up a Fluke with a Clouser minnow, just-short-of-my-dinner size.

The blues are all different sizes with cocktails in huge numbers.  Nick K. crushed them all morning on flies and light tackle.  Even Nick’s mom couldn’t resist the action and hurled a spoon into the soup and boated a couple.

The bait is thick and the fishing is good
