BLUEFISH PLUGs!!!
 

Hey guys, can any of you recommend me some best or popular bluefish lures such as plugs and poppers? For the boat and shore?

Ima kastmaster junkie.....;)

Atom - striper swiper popper

Roberts - Ranger

Creek Chub - chrome popper

any swimming plug that can be retrieved rapidly like a Rappala or something.

Orange kastmasters? I thought that you catch stripers, not blues?

Slipknot, what kind of rod goes with it?

plain ole flashy shiny kastmasters......:D

You catch bluefish from the shore?

CERTAINLY!!!! oh...this hurts....its only feb. and I can just picture 5:45 a.m.....draggin but and dead tired...and the blues come along....:( :( :( AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

A fishing rod , ofcourse :)

First what weight plugs?
The atom striper swiper comes in a few sizes I believe.
The creek chub poppers are around 1-1/4 oz or so.
As far as flashy kastmasters go, there are many sizes up to 4 oz.

Use a 9' or 10', whatever you are comfortable with.

Any rod you use for stripers, is good enough for bluefish as long as it's not too whimpy.

A Batson 1087 or 1088 seems fine to me, anything like that.

Yes you catch them from shore but we choose to seek out bass instead. But in the heat of the summer, sometimes we will take what will give a tug on the line.

good luck

what we'll take!
 

slip you don't mean like a freighter or cruise ship do ya?:laughs:

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& Olive/white or Blue/white :D

Atom popper
Hopkins / Kastmaster - 3 ounce for long range

Notaro -

I have a question for you -

Have you ever fished ?

..if yes, for what - from where ??

Just curious on what stage your at .. . . .. . . .'...''' . ..

I have pretty good luck on Atom poppers and the Storm Chug Bugs.

bloo!!
 

is there ever a stage to be at!! evreytime i hear about one way,gear ,rod ,ect! along comes another!! trying to keep up with stages is costly! :D

Mr. Macey....I hear ya ;)

...its just when someone asks if you can catch bluefish from shore...I get confused thats all..but I've been around water my entire life......I'm just a knucklehead..........not to mention I did the 3rd shift last night 12 hours....and need me some ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzz...


...:jester: :hihi: a monkey needs his sleep.....

My favorit is gags graber popper, singal hook on the rear. I hear table spoons work great.

I usually just throw the crappiest lure in my bag at them, but I have even gone so far as attaching a hook to michelob light can with a snap, and that had no problem fooling an eight pound blitzing blue. Robert's Rangers, red and white pencil poppers, and chrome creek chub poppers seem to work the best in my experience though.

There are no bluefish lures,just other lures that the Bluefish get in the way of//////

:rolleyes: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

They will bite anything with a hook on it. Use your crapy rusty stuff, the older the better.

Slipknot, so I can choose any rod for lure casting?

Oh, I see, John. So it means I must use a wire leader.

bloodcrab, i have fished from back river and old fish pier. im at the possibility of the or toddler stage.

thanks, don.

okay, that's cool. i will use any kind of lures that is cast-able and able to move in the air fluidly.

Okay, guys, if I were to use a bucktail jig for the blue fish? How do I rig it with a wire? Go to the store and but a wire and use the snap to attach a bucktail or rig it with a bucktail by using a labor working hand?

Thats the way to get your post # up;)

thats the way to!!
 

get a talkin too:D :D

bluefish when feeding will hit anything IMO. One night at dinner I was looking at the Prime-Rib bone on my plate...that night I
fashioned a hook, some feathers to it and the very next day it caught a fish. swam like a bunker spoon. Had it for several years and pulled it out after a few beers and the cooler was full of fish...

I was fishing the WICC tourney in CT a few years back. For about 3 minutes, until we drifted out of range, I watched a 6-8# blue making a constant & viscious attack on a floating Pepsi bottle - I still laugh thinking about it...
