Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
With so much bait around, they can be difficult to catch. You'll see a big school of bait raining on the surface and you might see a blue or two spray them up. I have not seen big numbers of blitzing fish yet, but it's coming.
These blues can also be fussy. They love my expensive NLBN paddle tails, dead ringers for peanut bunker. Instead of going through one paddle tail after another, I have been opting to go with small, half ounce bucktail jigs with a plastic grub tail. It's not as effective as the paddle tails but still works, and it's durable. They have turned their noses up on poppers so far, but I'm guessing that will change too.
All my focus has been on fishing the Bay in the last week or so where the action has been good for blues and an occasional schoolie. The oceanfront is still a dead zone except for that occasional big striper caught late at night on eels.
