May be a stupid question, but today I took the kayak to the surf and went out a couple hundred yards and there were fish topping everywhere around me, I threw all the arties I had at them with no luck, anyone might know what they were?
Probable small Blue fish. If you got a hit on a tout tail and reeled just a stump of a tout it was a pretty positive sign that they were small blue fish.
Could be Bluefish,and small hardheads also. Just think of what might be under them running them up to the surface. Chunk a Silver Spoon out there and see what happens.
