Thanks for the response, things are busy this week with but when they slow down next week I will definately get in contact with you. I have 5-8wt rods so I have enough outfits to fish almost anywhere in the sound. As for bluefish we always timed our vacation to the beach to coincide with their run in a place called Indian River Inlet in Delaware. It was one of the best flyfishing experiences a kid could ever have, it hooked me for life. we would alternate fishing for them from the boat or from the jetty depending on where they were schooled up. We sometimes had days of 15-20 blues per person. It was the kind of simple uncomplicated flyfishing that everyone should get to do atleast once in their life. We tied clousers in all different colors because the fish would turn on to one color and the action would be frantic for about 10-15 minutes and then a color change would turn them on again. It has been ten years since I was back on the east coast for fishing so I don't know if the blues still run that river in the same numbers as they used to but a little research could probably tell you. Take care and I will e-mail you next week
