Bluefish
Bluefish, known for their aggressive strikes and hard fights, are a popular target around Rock Point. The Chesapeake Bay's brackish waters offer ideal habitat for these voracious predators. The key is to understand their seasonal movements and feeding habits. Bluefish typically arrive in the spring and remain through the fall, following schools of baitfish. Look for them blitzing on the surface, particularly around points, channel edges, and near schools of menhaden. Trolling, casting, and chumming are all effective techniques. Use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs, as bluefish have sharp teeth. A good access point is the public boat ramp at Smallwood State Park, offering convenient access to the Potomac River and the Bay. Be aware of strong currents in the area, which can affect boat control and lure presentation. A local tip is to use brightly colored lures or poppers to attract attention. The bluefish in this region are known for their size and fighting ability, making for an exciting angling experience.
