Bluefish
Chatham, Massachusetts, offers exhilarating bluefish action along its coastline, particularly in the waters surrounding the Outer Cape. These aggressive predators are drawn to the rich baitfish populations that thrive in this area. The best time to target bluefish is typically from late spring through fall, as they migrate into the region in search of food. Look for them blitzing on the surface, chasing schools of sand eels or bunker. Casting topwater plugs, metal spoons, or live bait into these feeding frenzies can result in explosive strikes. A local tip: Monomoy Island, accessible by boat, is a renowned bluefish hotspot. Be aware of strong currents and changing tides in this area. Also, bluefish have sharp teeth, so use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. Keep an eye on the local fishing reports for the latest information on bluefish migrations and feeding patterns.
