Bluefish
Assateague Island provides a fantastic opportunity to tangle with Bluefish, especially during their seasonal migrations along the Atlantic coast. These aggressive predators are a blast to catch, and Assateague's surf and inlets offer prime fishing locations. The best time to target bluefish here is typically late spring through fall, as they follow schools of baitfish. Casting spoons, poppers, or cut bait from the beach or fishing piers can be highly effective. A local tip: try fishing near the Chincoteague Inlet during outgoing tides, as the current concentrates baitfish and attracts bluefish. Be prepared for a hard fight, as bluefish are known for their powerful runs and sharp teeth. Remember to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. The bluefish around Assateague are known for their aggressive feeding habits, making for an exciting and memorable fishing experience.
