No, Southern MA.

From 03-06 when I fished around Plum Island by boat, the southern jetty of the river, anytime around low tide, always, always had bluefish. From what I hear about this year, there may well be none at all, yet.

As for Bluefish recipes - I fillet and leave the skin on. Then in a ziploc bag I put a 50/50 mixture of lemon and olive oil. I will soak the fillets in the bag from 2 hours to overnight. Then I put them on the grill skin side down. Watch you don't burn off your eyebrows - it will flame up. While it's cooking put your favorite dry spices on - I like onion powder and black pepper. Flip after 5 minutes with a spatula. Again, watch the flame up. Then, with your fingers you should be able to pull off the skin in one swoop. It should be hard and dry and pull right off. Again add spices. Cook until the fish starts to break apart. If necessary, carefully flip one more time to brown the now-skinless side. I was told that the citrus in the lemon will draw out the oily taste that most people don't like. Bon Apetite!

Yes it is. My bro took that pic leaning on my truck.

I've actually weighed one fish at 22lbs and two at 18lbs.All three were around 10 minute battle,which when you're actually fighting the fish seems like an eternity.

I think people exaggerate unintentionally because blues fight so much harder than their actual size would indicate.

last week i was in my canoe sitting just inside the wickford walls and hooked into what i thought was a good striper. tide was going out and the fish pulled my anchor off bottom and dragged me into the channel as the tide was going out. when i finally landed the fish...probably 10 minutes later.... i was about 150 yards out of the harbor. it ended up being an 18 pound bluefish. biggest one ive ever caught. thought i finally had my 20# bass, but i wasnt that disapointed.

FISHING REPORT!!!
2 days of fishing P.I. at high tide with NO BLUES!!!
Only got a couple of stripers!!!
Will try low tide to see what there is then!!!

ive been checking out the areas where i usually see hundreds of bluefish sunning themselves on the surface at slack tide, and there has been nothing. ive been getting alot of snapper blues in my pogie net. then feeding them to the bass.

Down my way the blues don't seem to be in their traditional areas.Have no idea why.This time last year I was hitting one spot everyday and just slaying some real alligators,haven't seen a thing there this year.

No blues yet for me this year.Hoping they show soon.

Last year by this time, they seemed to be everywhere. LARGE blues too! This year, I have only gotten a couple and they were both small, only a step larger than snappers. On the plus side, I've caught more stripers this year. Not a bad trade off, but I still like the blues for a workout.

Down here on Long Island's north shore I've been getting between 20 and 40 small blues a night. My brother and I wade about a 1/4 of a mile off shore at low tide. I've been getting small bass and blues every low tide for over a month but the twinky blues, one to two pounds, have showed up for the last four nights. Their feeding on small sand eels and they won't leave. If I'm lucky they will head up your way.

They are fun to catch but I've got more cuts and scrapes on my hands then I can stand.

I treat blues Like Clamma...:deadhorse::cens::nailem::gorez:

$5.99/pound for bluefish fillets at Shaw's Supermarket last night. And they don't carry Striped Bass in their seafood department.

and the bluefish fillets look absolutely horrible

Not after their cooked with wine, onions, peppers, and old bay wrapped in foil on the BBQ

Oh I enjoy bluefish, but only if I caught it that morning. I've seem fillets in shaws/stop&shop that were BROWN!

anyone know what comm's are getting for blues right now?
$.75ish per pound?
