Bluefish
If you're after bluefish in East Hampton, NY, you're in the right place! These aggressive feeders are a staple of the area, particularly around Montauk Point and the various inlets and bays. The fall is prime time, as bluefish gorge themselves before heading south. Look for blitzes – surface feeding frenzies that are an unforgettable sight. Diamond jigs and poppers are incredibly effective when the fish are on top. Remember that bluefish have sharp teeth, so use wire leaders to avoid losing your lures. A local tip is to check the tides; bluefish often move with the current, so fishing during peak tidal flow can increase your chances of success. Also, be mindful of boat traffic, especially during the summer months, and always practice safe boating.
