I know we usually only talk about fresh water fishing, but my family and I had a blast catching blue fish out of the surf on mullet rigs using frozen mullet

There is a fishing forum called pier and surf and Assategue is mentioned often.good looking fish and very tasty that size.

Caught a half dozen of these in the surf

ON A BLUE RATTLE TRAP!?

16in and that's a keeper. You can only keep 4 tho very good eating. Must have been very shallow, they normally just off the bottom feeders.

I was in Rock Hall md last weekend catching big white perch on blue rattle trap. Nice to catch fish you wouldn't expect on certain lures.

Only got 2 keepers, I still don't know how  to fillet flounder very good.

Very sharp flexible knife, ride the bones when cutting. Look on YouTube you can find almost anything there

Our family vacation is always at the beach. it's the only time I can get my wife and daughter to hang out while I fish all day. I can even get them to go to OBX in November.

Took the family down for a few days wed-fri.
Ocean was crazy rough, I have never tried to fish in conditions like that.
Fished for 4 hours only managed a giant cow Ray. Fought it for 30 minutes until the hook straightened.
