Blue fishing is pretty big in the Carolina's, especially NC. They are so ferocious and such hard fighters. Don't you miss the big salty pond? LOL, I know I couldn't live without it.
They aren't bad eatting either, granted you fillet them while they are still flopping, or you cut off thier tail so they'll bleed out. I always felt they didn't freeze very well, and needed to be eatten fresh.
How did you fish for them in Florida? Did you use cut bait on the bottom, or did you cast lures for them?
Alot of blues in SC are caught off of peirs on cut bait, and some times casting gotcha plugs and spoons, or jigging a gold hook rig; similar to a Sambiki rig, just with a bunch of shiney gold hooks.
