The BFT are feeding on Sand Eels so it might make sense to put a small bait down on a planer and see what happens. Most boats are stretching out their baits WWB with larger Ballyhoo being the bait of choice along with blue/white cedar plugs.

"Osprey"fished at the Parking Lot today and caught 10 bluefin tunas and released 8 of them, 1 dolphin and 1 kingfish were also caught.
