Bluefish
If you're after Bluefish near Fire Island, you're in for some exciting action. This area is known for its aggressive blues that patrol the surf and inlets. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall migrations when they're feeding heavily. Focus your efforts around the inlets and along the ocean beaches, especially during periods of strong tides. Blues here are known to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and baits. Local tip: A classic metal spoon retrieved at a fast pace is often irresistible. Also, keep an eye out for diving birds, as they often indicate schools of baitfish and, subsequently, hungry bluefish. Popular access points include Smith Point County Park, offering ample parking and beach access. Be prepared for some intense fights, as these blues are known for their power and stamina.
