Bluefish
Huntington, New York, offers some exciting bluefish action, especially in the Long Island Sound. These aggressive feeders are drawn to the area by abundant bunker and other baitfish. The best time to target bluefish here is typically from late spring through fall, with the most intense blitzes occurring in the early morning or late afternoon. For success, match your presentation to the prevalent forage. When bunker are around, large swimming plugs or live-lined bunker are hard to beat. During periods when smaller baitfish are abundant, smaller metal lures or poppers can trigger strikes. Don't be afraid to experiment with retrieve speeds and depths. A local's secret is to focus on areas with strong currents, such as the mouths of harbors or around rocky points; these spots concentrate bait and attract bluefish. The Huntington Harbor boat ramp provides easy access, but be prepared for crowded conditions, especially on weekends.
