Bluefish
Bluefish blitzes near Dennis Port are a Cape Cod fishing experience you won't soon forget. This area is prime bluefish territory due to the abundance of forage fish in Nantucket Sound and the nearby estuaries. The best time to target them is typically from late spring through early fall, when they aggressively chase baitfish along the beaches and in the channels. Look for birds diving and surface commotion to pinpoint feeding frenzies. Casting topwater lures or metal spoons into the blitzes is incredibly effective, and the ensuing battle is a true test of your tackle. A local tip is to fish the outgoing tide near the mouths of the Bass River and Swan River, as this is where bluefish often ambush baitfish being flushed out. Be prepared for fast-moving schools and always use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. Dennis Port's bluefish are known for their aggressive feeding behavior and impressive size, making for an exciting and memorable fishing trip.
