Bluefish
Head to North Beach, Maryland, and you'll find some exciting bluefish action in the Chesapeake Bay. These aggressive predators are known for their hard strikes and spirited fights, making them a favorite among anglers. The best time to target bluefish is during the spring and fall migrations, when they move in and out of the bay in large schools. Look for them blitzing on schools of baitfish near the surface. Popular techniques include casting metal spoons, topwater plugs, and trolling with bucktails or diving lures. Pay attention to bird activity, as diving birds often indicate the presence of feeding bluefish. A local tip: try fishing around the Calvert Cliffs area, as the warm water discharge from the nuclear power plant can attract baitfish and bluefish, especially during cooler months. Be sure to use wire leaders, as bluefish have razor-sharp teeth that can easily cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon.
