REVISED QUESTION (?)

[Fishcop]

If you were going after bluefish, would you use a balloon as a bobber and monofiliment line (40 or 50 lb test) without any leader tied tied directly to a treble hook that has a live mackerel on it?

Would this set up be better for bluefish or striped bass?

Throw eels at them they love em!! I would not go to all that trouble for a bluefish, and if I was livelining it would be for bass and if a blue hit my live bait I would hang my head and cry

Try for some other species and you will most likely catch blues.
