Everyone likes to know when blues are in. Lot of people use word of mouth, binocular crew, social media FB,instagram, message boards, reports threads, etc. 

One interesting method is....go to your local walmart. If all the 10ft combos, 100lb braid, and big metals and diamond jigs are gone...you can bet your bottom dollar that blues are in thick someplace not too far away.

Interesting theory, lol.

 

My Walmart had plenty of that stuff the other day tho. However they only had 1 roll of 30lb clear mono I needed for one my old fluke setups I don’t run braid on. Almost gave up looking, found it it another box.

 

What they did have a lot in stock are the Abu Garcia baitcaster Black Max combos. For $69 you got the Combo, and a bunch of poppers. I haven’t bought an Abu in years, but for $69 I’m tempted to pick that up if they’ve got them next time I go to use as a freshwater backup rod.

Back to the OP's thread content.........another way is you can smell those schools of Bluefish.   

When they're in thick you can smell them before you actually see 'em.

Ive heard a lot of guys say this and I dont deny its true. In my case I must be hard of smelling. Ive been places where gators are charging through thick, breaking the surface, etc. Couldn't smell a thing.

It is interesting. I always check out the fishing section while Im in there. They really dont have too much stuff I use. Maybe some braid or leader material etc. They usually have a decent assortment of big metals. Always in stock.  Was there the other day they were wiped out.

I can smell Wild Striped Bass too and it's totally different.
