bluefish in the surf

While helping my wife with preparations for Thankgiving and getting Christmas decorations unpacked, she mentioned that she wished we had some bluefish or mackerel for the smoker to make some smoked fish dip for the holidays. I had a feeling there may be either in the surf at daybreak and headed out the next morning (today) to the Melbourne Beach area. In about an hour I was headed home with a limit of blues, having caught them all on a 1/2 oz silver spoon. Now getting the fish smoked has been added to the list of holiday preparation tasks.
