Bluefish
Chasing bluefish around Sparrows Point offers a unique Chesapeake Bay experience. This area, where the Patapsco River meets the bay, becomes a bluefish playground as warmer waters arrive. The key is understanding the baitfish migrations; bluefish are aggressive feeders and follow their food. The best action typically occurs from late spring through early fall. Look for surface blitzes around structure like the Key Bridge or near the mouths of creeks flowing into the Patapsco. For success, match your lure or bait to the prevalent forage – bunker chunks or silver spoons are often productive. A local tip: pay close attention to the current. Bluefish often position themselves to ambush prey in the current seams. Also, because of the industrial history of the area, be mindful of potential snags and debris on the bottom.
