Goose, i really want to go and i don't think my sister would really mind, it's all the matter of GETTING THERE that is a problem :(

Check your PMs.

Notaro, what I would recommend is that you really think about what you want to ask first. So think it out a bit and then post a somewhat short & concise post on what you are looking for too. Other than that - search the forums, read the books, yada yada...

One of these days we'll also get some How Tos in that new How To section that will help a bit...

Thanks & good luck! Don't take this as being a negative but a positive... Please don't right novels - the headaches are too intense.... :p

When the blues were thich as S#%T in plymouth (several years ago).

I out a steel leader througha sprite can and caught a couple.
They like the green color !!!!!
Funny as hell to see that can after a few hits and a coule of fish.,
I should'a kept it.

my favorite blue fish plug? one of mine of course!!:D
HABS-did you read sport fishing magazine yet? they mention you, well your lures for fishing for cubera snapper, thought that was wicked cool.
p.s.- WHY do YOU type like THIS all of THE time? i WAS JUST wondering.:D
notaro- this is a pretty good thread.

cause his fat fingers keep hitting the Caps Lock:D

one thing i would suggest that a one do when targeting blues or when blues are around in large quantities w/ little chance at stripers is to remove all trebles and use a single hook in the rear of the lure. bluefish almost always hit a bait from behind and chop it. having a lure w/ 3 sets of trebles on it is just wrong. we all know how blues seem to fight and thrash more when you try taking a hook out of their mouths. put 3 sets of trebles in there and you have a mess. a lot of people rip hooks out of blues or could care less. this is inhumane. with one single hook in the rear of the lure it makes for an easy release.

this also brings up another topic and that is pliers. do you have a pair of pliers that can cut a 4/0 treble hook? if not, you should. i had to cut a treble hook out of a friend's hand last year after a blue started thrashing around and the treble was burried. i've cut many hooks out of fish due to the barb being wedged into the cartilage of the jaw. i'd rather cut the hook than rip it out of a fish. i'm not sure on the power/cutting ability of vs pliers, but i do know manley's work well. a pair of long needlenose pliers work when you have a hook deep in a fishes jaw.

as far as lures to use when targeting just blues i'd suggest roberts rangers, atom poppers in all sizes, hab's poppers, kastmasters/tin/metal, and jigs.

what do you by keeping my post up?
Hey, aern't you the one that own a b%t store in cape cod, mikecc?

No i was sarcasticly making fun- Sorry :D

There are times when Blues get picky, usually when there "finning" they are hard to piss off.
and at times they will only take a slower worked plug rather than a fast retrieve.
the toothy bastages

If all else fails, just throw out either the biggest, juiciest live eel in your bucket, or else throw the rigged one you spent half an hour getting "just perfect". The most picky blue in the world will come on the run ;)

ANy BM plug should catch blues :)

SSX - you have little room to bust on Notaro ...

Notaro - see, you can reply to several people using the same post... There are all kinds of things you can use on them but try not to spend a lot of money. You can use simple stuff and get the same results...

Everyone - Please don't egg the young guys on - you know what they say about encouragement... :rolleyes:

Man, someone busts on Bassmastah's bloofish plugs and we don't hear a single thing from him? :smash:

John, At least i have some :D :D
I'm just playing around w/ Notaro--- Nothing meant to look rude.

Alls i said was after he was told to reply in the same thing he did about 10 more :smash: I did my time i don't want to hear about november- This is now :D

and i'm not saying i don't post alot, damn i don't shut up :eek5: But i don't do 10 replies to one person @ a time :smash: and when told not to do something, I don't.... So i think i have a little more room here ;)

It's OK notaro :D

Don't take fishing advice from me cause i'm only 16 but i have caught many bluez

BLUEFISH WILL EAT ANYTHING pretty much. I rigged a soda can w/ hooks and thruwire & used it as a popper :eek: caught a nice blue to...

Kastmasters,
BluefishBombers,
All Popperz, shad bodies (better have alot of em)
An list goes on.

AND YES, YOU CAN CATCH BLUEFISH FROM SHORE :laughs:

good-luck

Mike

Hey Wee Wee, Hows this make U feel:smash:

Hey BM, Was that fish so big you had to drag it up the beach with your buggy? Whats all those marks on it's belly?

the water is about 3 feet away from the blue.I just needed a ruler pic and tossed it Back.
marks???? i dont know? ask the fish:D

I will try to make this as painless as I can! Take a metal tea spoon. Drill a hole in the handle big enough to thread through the handle. “NO HOOK” They will hang on all the way back to the boat, shore, pier, or what ever you are fishing from! You can also paint it if you will think it will help.
Later
:cool:

see I told ya,,,, :) BM= SOL Bluefish award :)

Bluefish Guide = $$$$

BM, Did that BLUEFISH take a BITE out of the head of that PLUG.....:laughs: :D ;) :smash:

i rememebr reading in bob post's reading the water a guy (can't remember who) was catching bluefish with a toy boat that had a treble attached to it. those things get going and watch out

bluefish are dumb but fun...
 

During a past fall blitz, a buddy of mine won some cash by betting another surfcaster he could catch a bluefish with a beer can (Budweiser, of course). All it took was poking a whole through the bottom of the can, feeding through a metal leader, attaching a treble hook, dunking the can in the water to fill it up (weight to fly), and slam! One cast, one dumb blue...

I usually have my fill of bluefish after I catch my first of the season unless I can get into some primal 15-20 lbs. monsters.

One October night surfcasting on Nantucket I was trying to dislodge my favorite Gibbs pencil popper from a chopper when I sunk a jagged infectious bluefish fang into a knuckle. Nice...deep....gash... Bandaid anyone? Well it turns out that bastard blue left some kind of viral bateria in my knuckle long after the gash healed. I could hardly bend my index finger for several months. It took a month of antibiodics and a year more to fully regain full motion. Needless to say, I've never really like blues since. However, I am friendly with smoked bluefish...
