Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
As for the bluefish, they have been around, though I've seen no schools of them. There seems to be loners here and there. In one place that I fish, you probably have to cast for several hours and maybe you will pick up a blue or two. Boaters have been seeing small schools of them whenever a bit of bait comes around. The blues I am catching are also super skinny, a sure sign that they are not eating much. Many of the blues this fall have been large ones over 10 lbs.
As for the albies, there have been a scant few taken by boaters mostly out near Block Island. The oceanfront has had none that I know of. Last year they appeared at this time, but there was tons of bait around to lure them in. I don't think we will see a lot of them this year until the big schools of bait arrive. Realize that albies have traditionally been a September fish with the first week of September marking the start. The albie thing has also been no guarantee. Over the past couple of decades, there have been some banner years with lots of them, some average years such as last year with some and there have been some years with none. No one can accurately predict what will happen with these pelagic fish that spend most of their life offshore in the deep water.
