Had a great  morning  !!!.    Caught blues, ladies,  reds,  , flounder   even  cats , but what really was cool was to see this junior reds with  blue tails.  Does anybody know  why  their tails get blue?...   

/

  Flounder were at the drop off's  , small for the most part. . 

Kept an 18" flounder

flounder were caught on manhaden and finger mullet, dragging the  rig at  the bottom  

 Two major broke off (thinking large blues)  Lots  of bait.: green backs,  finger mullet , manhaden ,  glass minnows, bull minnows , mud minnow, lys?...croakers...it was insane..bait every where....very flat  out  there... perfect!!!

I thought the full moon was going to be an issue, but not at all.     Lats Friday   went  floundering  caught   two flatties , had a great time as well, but man, what a work out that was..

Nice pic's man   I was always told that the blue tail on the reds was from eating lots of grab.

I think you're right. I have also heard that they the tails turn blue when the water is a little colder, but I've caught many with blue tails in the summer time.
