Bluefish insane this year in comparison to other years why?

[Brewlugger]

I remember reading long ago about Bluefish disappearing and cyclical abundance. After reading this thread did an internet search and found some interesting articles on the subject referring to a decades long disappearance in the 1700s and again in the 1800s into the early 1900s. Apparently it's an unsolved mystery.

Please send some links to your research online if possible. Many captains I fish with concur about cyclical abundance and agree its still a mystery as far as bluefish. Thanks
