Bluefish
Cambridge, Maryland, provides access to the Chesapeake Bay, a renowned bluefish destination. These aggressive predators are drawn to the bay's rich ecosystem, feeding on menhaden and other baitfish. Bluefish arrive in force during the summer months, typically from June through September, providing anglers with exciting topwater action and hard-fighting battles. Trolling with spoons or casting poppers near breaking schools of baitfish is a productive tactic. When the fish are deeper, try chumming or jigging. A local tip: the area around the Choptank River bridge is known to hold bluefish, especially during outgoing tides. Also, be aware that bluefish have sharp teeth, so use wire leaders to avoid losing your lures. Several marinas and public boat ramps along the Choptank offer easy access to the bay's fishing grounds. Keep an eye on local fishing reports to stay updated on bluefish migration patterns and feeding habits.
