Funny you guys bring up the bluefish. I was on the Bay early yesterday and there were schools of SMALL bluefish from the mouth of EG bay all the way to Quonset. I capped the SMALL because I have never seen acres of 1 pound Bluefish. At first, I almost got a woody because I thought they were pogies. Then I caught one and it was a Bluefish about 1 pound.

Clammer and I talked a couple of years ago about livelining bluefish for bass but Mike said they swim too fast for the bass to chase. I tried it and he was right.

yup. not one blue yet. I'm not complaining either but it does seem odd.

what if you did a little trimming with scissors and/or wack it a few times like an eel

[Clammer]

put the hook in its ass & it will chase the bass /bite it & hold on ;;

Pffft. Chloroform and a little vodka ought to help slow them down.

An old timer I know taught me this trick for poisoning eels. Take a cig or two and empty the tobacco out into the bucket they're squirming in. A few minutes later they're totally stoned off the nicotine.

This way you knock em out but dont damage the meat wackin em' just grab one, sever the spine, and proceed to skin the rest. The chunks get breaded and cooked within a few mins and the links are so fresh they twitch on the frying pan for a minute or two.

This same cig technique should work on bloos. Put the tobacco on their head it'll absorb through the skin or just make a cigarette sleeptank with a few cigs into a 5gal bucket w/ water...

Drug the toothy bastages into submission

-edit on second thought the bloos will probably just float around if ya got em to stoned...but eventually they might wake up a little...LOL

Not just south to Quonsett. Yesterday they were down as far as Beavertail and Narragansett.

Almost got a woody cause you thought they were pogies. My guess is 1 pound blues will work as good as Pogies if you rig them the same way.
