Hal Lyman passed away this year but this work stands as the definitive bluefish treatise.

BLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFIIIIIIIIISSSHHHHHIIINGGGG GGGGGG WHAT the @#$%^@#$%^

read a book on catching @#$%^@#$% BLUEFISH :smash:

:laughs:

I was going to say the same thing clammer :D

Excerpt from page 666 of Clammers book on bluefishing?...

"And then the ####!!##@@%% bluebastid bit my %%###$$ eel in half, so I thew his M%%##F$$$#@@ in a blender and fed the %%#### to the herring in my pen.
All-in-all, it was a good $#$%$# F%%##@ day bluefishing."

Yes, Blues destroy gear. Yes , Blues do not taste as good as a bass. Also left unchecked Blues will wipe out fish
populations. Blues are scary ! But they fight hard and do have
similar traits as Bass.
When Bass were in decline a Blue was all that was readily available. Blues hit plugs etc...
Blues are a noble gamefish . If your baits are bit in
half (eels) try fishing with only lures.
Lyman in my opinion was a great author and fisherman.
In the 50's and 60's an 8 lb. Blue was big. Menhaden(pogies) were not very abundant .
i prefer to fish for Bass and know the subtle differences
of how to fish for each.(bass&blues). Sometimes they
overlap but life in general is not always rocket science
Rocket science involves exact facts. Fishing involves
(believe it or not) far more variables.
Please dont knock Blues. i hope we never experience
another Striper draught . Yet if we do , the Blues hopefully
will be here to make fishing interesting.

"Also left unchecked Blues will wipe out fish
populations."

I have some issues with that... any science to back it up?
We are the decline in baitfish populations, not bluefish....

Just curious..

And yes I do target bluefish in August when the bay bite is dead for bass....

B

I'm getting you that for Christmas.:laughs:

There was once a man named Clammer

who's favorite bloofishing tool was a hammer

he'd sit on his ass wishing for bass

only to catch 12 pound slammers

I concur, Joe that is the funniest post I have seen all year..
:laughs:
