Bluefish
Hyannis is a fantastic jumping-off point for chasing bluefish, especially during the summer months when they invade Cape Cod waters in force. These aggressive predators are drawn to the abundant baitfish schools in Nantucket Sound and along the coast. Look for surface blitzes – a telltale sign of bluefish feeding frenzies. Casting topwater plugs or trolling spoons are highly effective methods. A local tip: The waters around Monomoy Island and the shoals off Hyannis are particularly productive. Be aware of strong currents, especially around the inlets and channels, and consider using heavier tackle to handle the larger bluefish. Remember, these fish have sharp teeth, so use pliers or a de-hooker when handling them.
