Shelter Island cuda fest

[Jussdone805]

Got down by the Bali Hai before sunup, saw lots of bait busting on the surface from whatever was chasing it. Turned out to be barracuda everywhere. I caught 5 of the stinky, slimy things on an anchovy pattern jerk bait, maybe 20-22 inches. Even the lizard fish were biting the jerk bait. Got 2 lizards for bait and threw them in the bucket, then dumped it out thinking I’d get plenty more and it just shut off like a switch. Then, as I’m leaving at 830, I see the shuttle signs for Day at the Docks! I completely forgot that it was happening so I parked and hopped on the first shuttle I saw. I love that event! So many cool people and vendors. I’m happy catching anything, and the cuda’s were fun on my light spinning setup. Pics of a couple, because if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all.
