I caught my first bluefish of the year last week and had several chopped baits after that the same night. For the past several seasons, I haven't seen them in the surf until sometime in mid to late August. It is a bit disconcerting to me that we see some massive ones in a few spots each year but they're not as widespread as they presumably should be.

As an aside, dogfish have more than made up for the lack of bluefish. Going back about 8-9 years, a dogfish was a rarity for me in the surf. Heck, the first couple nights I got into a lot of them I was almost nervous about the idea of sharks being in the surf. Now if I eel or chunk, and even some tides when I plug, I'll land 6-8 dogs for every bass I land.
