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?

I've caught blues in an undisclosed location all winter long.

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.
