Let's be honest, the Giants are away this weekend so there is no football happening in New York on Sunday. The real matchup in The Empire State is going down 120 miles East of NYC. Every Fall, and apparently a little early this year, an intense phenomenon of nature occurs in the swirling and ripping currents off of Montauk Point called the Fall Blitz. Bluefish, Striped Bass and False Albacore school by the millions, dominating bait fish as predators and prey alike move South as winter approaches. Typically one can time the blitz with the opening of Peconic Bay Scallop season, which is the first Monday in October, although the pic above that I received today suggests things are off to an early start.
And in case that pic seems like too much of a fish story, check out video of the blitz from '08. The water literally explodes with fish and it doesn't seem too outlandish to believe one could walk from boat to shore on the backs of hungry blues, stripers and albies.
