I've noticed over the years that bluefish are one of the more "inconsistent" species of fish as far as schooling. I've seen schools of blue fish from time to time, then i'll notice just a few here and there, more scatterd. Then there's the occasional lost "cow" that weighs like 15 pounds. (very rare down here) But rarely do you see topwater feeding schools of blue's here in SC. None the less, i've never had a big interest in targeting blues for that reason, they tend to be illusive.
What are some of the tactics you use in CT for bluefish? I know there is a much greater fishery for them there, and maybe when things slow down, I can find a school of the little pirana-like volenteers to help pass some time. When do you anchor off and cast a bait, when do you cast lures, and what conditions make you prefer trolling?
I don't know much about Blues, so any info would be appreciated. [cool]
