Five minutes ago: fish at Port Edgewood

Five minutes ago, Ed Hughes called from Port Edgewood to say he was slamming stripers on flies.

"It didn't matter where I went or what color I used," he said. "There were fish everywhere. I think the key was the incoming tide."

Ed was wading. On his first cast, he caught a 30-inch bass.

"I was worried that it would be a jinx, but it wasn't," he said. "I think I caught a fish on every cast after that, and they were all bass, no bluefish."
