Big Blues Enter the Fray

Big blues have joined the fray
looking for tons of small 
baitfish along the oceanfront.,

Add big bluefish to the species of fish that are attacking the hordes of bait that have moved in along the RI oceanfront.  Yesterday I found a mix of decent sized stripers as well as big bluefish.  These blues were running 8 to 12 lbs., and they were very aggressive. I was using a pencil popper to get way out.  The blues would blast the plug, sometimes hitting it numerous times before they would get hooked. They were also crazy on the fight.

The has been a wild week along the oceanfront.  I've seen big schools of chub mackerel, loads of hickory shad at times, incredible numbers of stripers from schoolies to slot limit keepers and now big bluefish.  There are even rumors of bonito showing and being caught. Its the wildest fishing I have ever seen in late July from shore.  All of it is being fueled by massive amounts of small bait that are moving along the shore. We are seeing schools of small peanut bunker as well as schools of small bay achovies. 

The pencil popper was a hot plug yesterday
as the fish were in a zone way out. It accounted 
for good numbers of big bluefish and some stripers.
