Bluefish
If you're looking for exciting inshore action, bluefish around Cape Vincent can provide just that. Situated where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River, this area offers a unique mix of freshwater and brackish environments that bluefish readily exploit. The best time to target them is from late summer through early fall, as they migrate into the area following schools of baitfish. Bluefish are aggressive feeders, so don't be afraid to use flashy lures like spoons or poppers. Live bait such as small perch or shiners can also be incredibly effective. Keep an eye out for surface blitzes, where bluefish are actively feeding on schools of bait. A great access point is the Cape Vincent Fisheries Area, offering ample shoreline access. Be mindful of strong currents in the St. Lawrence, which can influence where the bluefish are holding. Also, be prepared for some toothy critters – wire leaders are a must!
