Thom,
I’ve learned long ago that bluefish are a much more selective species than you give them credit for. When bluefish are not involved in an all out blitz they are quite selective as any hard core surfcaster can tell you. They have keen eyesight and will often ignore everything in your bag of tricks. Many times I’ve cast all the plugs in my bag and had no action – then put on an eel(live or rigged) and they hit literally every cast - and avoid the hook in many cases. In my opinion blues can be much more selective than bass and less likely to make a mistake on artificial baits. They are much smarter and more cunning than you give them credit for in your article.
As far as fighting – they never quit.
