Bluefish
Chasing bluefish around Broomes Island offers some exciting saltwater action. The bite really picks up as waters warm in late spring and continues through the fall. These aggressive feeders follow schools of baitfish, so keep an eye out for surface activity, diving birds, or signs of busting bait. Focus your efforts around the mouth of the Patuxent River and the nearby Chesapeake Bay. Trolling spoons or casting topwater lures can be highly effective when blues are feeding on the surface. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves and lure colors to find what the fish are keying on. One local tip: pay close attention to the tide. Bluefish often congregate along current lines and near structure where baitfish are concentrated. Also, be aware that bluefish in this area can be quite size-selective at times, so having a variety of lure sizes can be key to success. Remember to use heavier tackle, as bluefish are known for their powerful runs and sharp teeth.
