Bluefish?

[BCinerie]

I am planning on coming down for my annual trip and I do not see any promising bluefish reports? I see the boats catching a few snappers here or there. What is going on? Any Intel. Thx

Mostly peanuts and mackerel lately. There are bigger ones out further but boats aren't going to run 40 miles.

I was sharking at the mudhole Sunday and didn't see any Bluefish or sharks for that matter. Raritan bay is full of Bunker and no blues are on them.

We were off Asbury Park up to Long Branch Saturday and Sunday. There were hundreds and hundreds of bunker and not single bluefish in sight.

I was down Sunday. Seen the blues chasing bunker in the back bay(raritan).Threw a stretch out and right away hooked up. 15lb bluefish. Then stopped and casted some jigs out and again hooked up. I would think they are still there.

July is the worst month to fish for blues - they're spawning now. I never go out for them in July. Beginning in August, they should be done, hungry and rarin' to go again.
