They're Back!!!
Get out your fishing rods, because the bass and blues are back on the cape and islands as of a few days ago. Reports of bass at the opening of Edgartown pond, and reports of bluefish off the cape.

I don't know if that report is pure fact or fiction.  |

Those Blues must be wearing down jackets. Water temp at the Buzzards Bay probe is only 46 degrees. Got to be cooler than that at the "Vineyard".

THAT would be the earliest bluefish I've ever seen. I think we can safely say that's pure speculation. I have never ever seen bluefish under 53 degree water.

I live on the vineyard, work in a tackle shop and I haven't heard of any fish being caught yet on the vineyard, especially bluefish.

Blues
About 5 years ago I was catching blues on April 15th 2 weeks before I saw a bass. With the way this winter was so strange I could almost beleive it. I saw surface water temps in the low 50" on the Rutgers site yesterday - Who knows  |

Ten years ago a bunch of us were fishing Wasque for Schoolies in early May. At Sharks Landing when we mentioned we had caught a couple blues we were told by the guy that it was the first report he'd head of from the shore on Blues...
But someone has to be the first to get one, right?

This May will be year 12 of my annual fishing trip to "meet the blues" on MV. I always go the first full weekend of the month. On 9 of the past 12 years, the Blues have shown up within 2 days of that Sunday. Two years ago, a week befor my trip I was talking with Steve Morris (#^&#^&#^&#^&'s B&T) and I had a chat about this and he thought it was early, a week later he agreed as the blues showed up. I truely beleive their arrival has more to do with the Squid migration and the position of the Sun in the sky then water temps.

By the second week of May they (the blues) arrive thick at Poppy...they have to get there somehow and I've read that some populations winter offshore. In that context, it would not be insanely early to get them on the islands around now if they were coming in from offshore.
Still surprising, I would have thought tough to find even the very first blues before May 1 anywhere in New England waters.

I offer up a free six pack of lures to anyone who can show me a picture of a bluefish caught anywhere from Dartmouth to Gloucester from this past weekend to the end of next weekend. I don't care what you catch it on. Proof is in the picture. Boat or shore. Caught within 20 miles of land.

Just food for thought
http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dmf/comme...ist_quotas.htm
Look at privous years and you can tell when they come in. I still want to know why there are bluefish landed in January/ Febuary. I don't think people are commerically fishing them in holdover spots. In 05' there were 605lbs of fish landed the first week on January. |
