Went down to the inlet at low tide this afternoon, was a slow pick of bluefish, and they were smaller today, 2 to 3 pounds. Southwest winds cooled the water down also. Tried the canal first looking for weakies and did nothing. Spoke to a guy at the inlet who spoke to a gillnetter that worked just outside the inlet yesterday or today, and he said he caught 100 lbs. of weakfish, don't know how true it is.
The blues today were right on the bottom, and the only way you could get them was metal, and letting it sink to the bottom, before reeling or jigging it in, we couldn't catch a bluefish on a plug. Caught half a dozen, like I said, was a slow pick.

Here's a pic of a couple of Brandt on the Manasquan River, I've seen an awful lot of Brandt around this spring.

Here's a lousy pic of a bluefish coming in, was the best I could do, trying to keep it under control with light tackle and taking a pic at the same time.
