Bluefishtalk
We have a stripertalk thread,
Why not a thread for bluefish???
There are Big Fans of BLUEFISH!!!
Any bluefish around the northshore???
I tried Plum Island yesterday and came up empty, even though
the fishing reports in the local paper were reporting bluefish around.

Bluefish are fun. Many charterfisherman have had their day saved by the bluefish. At times here on the vineyard they are in more demand than bass and the buyers have paid the same for bass and blues.

None around Cohasset. Believe it or not, Bluefish is my favorite fish to eat! I like strong fish. Even my kids eat Bluefish, baked or grilled.

I don't mind bluefish.I've had the pleasure on more than one occasion of catching 20lb+ fish.Absolute insane fight.Any blue over 15 is an absolute blast.
A good single hook tin,wire leader,lip-grip and pliers and you're all set for some good non-stop action.

When I have really gotten into them, after a while I just reel as fast as I can to watch them try and kill the lure, then slow it down, let them catch it, with any luck they self release.

Nothin' puts a hurt on my casting arm like a day of monster choppers tearing up my Rangers, Ballistic missiles, and Line stretcher Surface Tensions. I love a day I lose count and need aspirins to recover. Hurts so good!

Bloooofish talk, keep talkin bloofish talk... 
I don't know if they're around or not... I haven't been fishing in weeks! BUT
I do enjoy the fight of a large one, especially if there are not multiple trebles on the plug I catch them on. Without hijacking the thread, can we share some recipes for those of us that wouldn't count them as #1 table fare but don't mind taking a few once in a while if we have company that doesn't mind the occasional "fishy" fish? |

My favorite bluefish game is to remove the hooks and see if you can get one to hold on till it hits the beach. Its important to keep the rod to the side so you don't get hit when they let go.  |

big ones are fun to fight.. if you're gonna eat em bleed em. my girlfriends mom loves the little blues I bring home for her. she cooks them in wrapped in foil, with lemons, mayo, and bread crumbs. Our dog cowboy used to loved bloofish grilled and mixed in his alpo. I like the way my old friend smokes them, its absolutely delicious.. all ive caught is small ones this year..belly's good for flukin too |

i am eagerly awaiting them this year. surprised they aren't around yet. then again they didn't really hit in droves till the end of august last year. but i'm so hard for some fish, bloooos would be amazing. hell i got all excited the other night over some dogs. (well as excited as you can get over a dog)
bring on the blooooos!

Bloofish are our friends! All kidding aside blues are much maligned.Pound for pound they fight very hard and don't give up ,even out of the water! Just because they are not picky or rare ,is not a reason to look down your nose at them and deem them "unworthy". They explode on a plug and jump and are great for kids to learn on,and big kids like me have fun with them too. Of COURSE I'd rather have a 74lb striper but blues can be a lot of fun too. |

I like catching them when there are no bass around. They're also great when taking someone new to fishing out, as long as you give them the warnings about the teeth.
As for eating, they're actually not very fishy tasting if you bleed them out immediately and get them on ice. This keeps them from banging around bruising their flesh and releasing the amino acids. That's what causes the strong taste. If you want a great appetizer, cut filets into thin strips, roll them up and wrap bacon around them. Then stick toothpicks through and grill them or throw them in the oven. People will think they are eating scallops wrapped in bacon. Also, the previously mentioned putting them in foil with lemon, mayo and breadcrumbs is good. If you like smoked fish, blues are great. I'd rather see the bass live another day and take some bluefish home if I'm in the mood for seafood.
