Bluefish as bait

[sears720]

If you can troll up a quick tuna in the morning...thats where it can definetly pay off. There is a lot of fresh blood in a tuna that can get your slick looking beautiful right off the bat!

Thanks Everyone...I see a chumgrinder purchase in my future

When catching the two makos one was the only fish of the day and the other was the last (went through a bunch of blues and two small makos that we did everything we could NOT to catch til their big brother showed up!

any tips to catching blues quick? the reason for this thread is because I cannot count on catching blues when I go out. I try my usual spots I have caught before looking for stripers! (generally lower or just outside of narragansett bay) in the AM trolling spoons, metals etc and also look for the birds for a blitz but it is hit or miss (on probably 8 trips last year I got blues three times). I am thinking of trying some umbrella rigs on wire next year when I head out hoping they may pull in more. the best day of sharking I had was after blues chewed up my spreader bars looking for tuna (f'ers) so I showed them ...

East grounds.

Plenty of them there most times. During the giant (short) bite at the Mud Hole in Sept, thats where the bait came from.

Just remember, bass in fed waters have to be released. they are out there...
