Jerry Murtha Aboard The Margaret O’Leary

6/9/2024 The weather broke today and the wind lied down. Our original plan was to Fluke fish the outgoing tide off the Oyster Building east to Bug Lighthouse, but the drift was nonexistent, so we continued east to Plum Gut to catch the last couple hours of the outgoing. We fished a 1.25 oz bucktail to a three way swivel and a drop down sinker. A couple drifts and no hits, so we decided to investigate birds working close to shore, just north of Plum Island Lighthouse. Plenty of bass, but non we’re interested in what we had to offer. We followed the birds to the northside of the island where Jerry caught a Cocktail Bluefish. We wrapped it up and enjoyed a nice ride home. What a difference from how the day started out
