:buds: Ok guys i have convicenced my girlfreind to try fishing again. She likes freshwater bass fishing with shiners but she hates salt water bc we dont catch alot of fish. I was wondering does anyone have any tips or secrects to catching Bluefish. She would love to hook into bluefish all day long. Any tips would be greatly appreated....
:sled:

Put a hook in the water.:spin:

look for birds workin, and toss any lure in the bag at em, just make sure you hav a wire leader on

Target stripers and the blues will be sure to show up. Definitely use wire leaders and don't let her go anywhere near their mouths. My wife got nipped a few years ago and still has't let me forget about it.

Working birds. If your confined to the shore, lots of blood bait. Chum, sit and wait. Like the others said, wire leaders all day.

"Bluefish Tips" So long as they're cooked same day they come out great. :bl:


all kidding aside - if you're in a boat, troll a swimming lure (if it dives even better) 3 - 4kts and you'll be on them in no time.
They are a great fighting fish, and have saved many a day when the bass are not biting.

don't stick your fingers in their mouth. Teeth look pretty sharp....

I love fighting blues. I get them on the beach every year in August. 7' spincaster, 25lb. test, with an orange roberts bomber single hook...no leader...just cast to the edge of the school. Haven't lost one in a long time. What a fun hour that turns out to be as they come a boilin' up the beach.

Coffee and bluefish. great combo.

eat the cheeks

Easiest setup is a 2-3oz Kastmaster and a good heavy duty(130lb) 12-18" steel leader.Indestructible combo.

PM Clammer, or better yet go fishing with him.

Find a bunker, snag it, and give her the rod....

if i got threw the work of snaging a bunker a blue fish better damn not eat it!!!

take her scup fishing; you are sure to get lots of action

use chunks, u will be in bluefish in no time!
