I went out yesterday trying to find some of that great Bluefish action I have been reading about. Maybe I suck because I could not find them I was out around noon time. here's an internet report where a guy experience the same thing -

sunday i couldn't get them to hit anything but bait and it was one hit every 30 minutes or so very slow...i guess now they are everywhere hitting everything in sight haha.

Another one, at least I don't feel so bad that I got Skunked 2-

This past Saturday they were around but would not hit anything, 2 guys 5 hours, one Bluefish about 10 lbs.

Anyone remember back when all the little bait fish you still have the shorelines type and the bass and blues would follow them in the surf. It was right around this time of year. Good times.

Good read. I would like to ask if anyone knows why they are so "picky"? I was out tonight and missed a lot of hits. They would follow and not commit. Had a couple blowups at the last second. Any thoughts? thanks
