JMB Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Very strange spring for bluefish in the areas I fish. They got here very late and normally are ravenous for a few weeks but seem to be very picky so far. I’m not complaining because it’s been a nice bass spring with the blues being so late and picky. Edited May 15, 2018 by JMB If you use eclairs in your example, he will get it right away. MikeMc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Last year it was like 2 solid weeks of them and they were coming in close and hungry. Haven't seen them tailing in the 1st cut and all the hits have been light. Only had 1 day with better action so far. Yesterdays gator was the first angry one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke925 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Backwaters Monmouth County. They are here but not crazy. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly By Nite Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Bluefish are everywhere right now- monmouth, ocean, atlantic, cape may...big ones too. Get out to your favorite well known jetty and or inlet and start casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChumSlickJon Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 They all went home in trash cans and trash bags last spring. 15 big stinky bluefish for the freezer every day. Delete from SOL_Users where username like 'wasy','Seal'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am experiencing the opposite. I seem to be the only guy in my areas not catching bass, but the blues have been a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny1199 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Blues are sticking to the bass schedule, at least for me. Dark, or outgoing tide. Every time I fished the incoming I get nothing, wait for the tide to flip and start picking up fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about anyone else, but every time I've fished the incoming this spring I've gotten the skunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffT Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Most of my trips this spring (all at Raritan Bay) have been on the incoming - usually with lots of action. Go figure. Edited May 16, 2018 by GeoffT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. There is a difference between kayak fishing and shore fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
