It's all about what I didn't catch.....

My Slug-go was cut right near
the hook on a big hit.  No question,
it was a big bluefish.

I was out along the oceanfront two evenings ago.  I was working a 9-inch Slug-Go right before dark when I had a "big" hit that I thought was a good sized striper.  After missing the fish, I retrieved the Slug only to find it had been cut right at the hook.  No question, it was a big blue. It reminded me that they are coming.

Last year I landed my first one in the Bay on May 13.  I suspect that within the next ten days, maybe even the next five days, we will see good numbers of bluefish along the oceanfront and along the Bay.  Expect the early arrivals to be big with many over 10 lbs. That has been the trend in the last few years, and I have no doubt it will happen again.  The blues will most likely be in warmer water spots like protected shallow water bays or under schools of menhaden which are already around. 

If you are looking for info on fishing for big bluefish from the shore or kayak, check out my latest article in this month's issue of The Fisherman magazine. The title of the story is "Gator Blues".


My latest story is called "Spring Gators from Shore and Kayak.
It can be found in this month's issue of The Fisherman magazine.
