For about like the past month the blue fish have been hitting hard right when you put your rod in the water BOOM! fish on! probably my whole summer fishing caught tons. Especially this camp i went to this summer with my friend and like 20 other kids on the boat, we would have about 5 rods in the water and all of them hooked at the same time. Luckily no lines tangled but had a great day. But im not sure how far bluefish go down the coat but i live in Massachusetts but if any of you know if the go down to like virginia or someplace like that let me know.
