Bluefish

[hq2]

Yeah, there was a guy in a blue and white van who used to cruise all the bluefish spots (Barrington, Colt State Park, some places further south). He was in a newspaper article on the subject. Funny how it all ended back then; years of great fishing, and then sort of disappeared around 2008. Never came back with any consistency after that. Last year, there were multiple days when they ran, so could be the start of a new bluefish wave.

When I was living in Mass 99-2003, I would run down after work in Worcester whenever there was an evening high tide. Those were some of my favorite fishing experiences. I knew I missed it when I would get to Barrington and the peanuts looking the shore were long dead. Between that and jigging the canal in the fall those were the good old days for me.

Quota went from 10 to 3... too much too late?

If over fishing caused this my guess is gill nets .... I hate em

I've caught one in about the last 10 years up here on the South Shore.
Have caught a few late season in South County RI.
Certainly not like "the old days" anymore...
