I can recall drifting live bunker in the back a bay in late august three years back and had a bluefish attack my bunker and watched blood shoot 2 feet in the air, it was amazing to watch this bluefish destroy my bunker and eat completely around my hook, bit the head and body off and and took the tail off leaving a half dollar sized chunk sitting on the hook…but what a show! They frequently drive schools of prey species into shallow inshore areas (such as the back of bays) where it becomes easier to cripple or catch fish that are trying to escape. The feeding behavior of this species is legendary! Bluefish are reputed to dash wildly about within schools of prey, absolutely marauding them. Bluefish generally feed in schools, actively pursuing prey in tidal rips or in inshore shallows where food in easier to catch. Adult bluefish are opportunistic feeders, commonly focusing upon schooling species such as menhaden, squid, sand eels, herring, mackerel, alewives, scup, butterfish and cunners (basically everything). I’m sure if I made a plug out of a beer can they would hit it.

Bluefish Fishingīluefish eat a variety of small-bodied animals such as shrimp, small lobsters, crabs, larval fish and larval mollusks, but lets be honest here, bluefish will eat anything. They rarely get larger than 20lbs (a bucket list fish). By the time they reach two years old, bluefish are ready to start breeding. Bluefish can tolerate a very wide variety of water temps and salinity. They are very tough fighters and a great challenge on light tackle. Bluefish are very aggressive feeders and that makes them easy to catch. When they are very young, they are called snappers and are often to very first fish young anglers catch. Bluefish can be found on nearly every coast on the Atlantic Ocean.
Bluefish fishing is incredibly popular in the northeast.
