Bluefish
If you're looking for bluefish action near Kattskill Bay, you're in a great spot! While Kattskill Bay itself is on Lake George, you'll need to head south to the saltwater of the Long Island Sound and Atlantic Ocean to find bluefish. These aggressive predators are drawn to the area by abundant forage fish. The best time to target blues is during the spring and fall migrations, when they're actively feeding. Keep an eye on water conditions; bluefish often congregate near rips and inlets where currents concentrate bait. A practical tip is to check local fishing reports for recent bluefish sightings and preferred lure types. Blues aren't picky, but they do have preferences! Also, be mindful of the water temperature, as blues tend to be more active in warmer waters. Given their powerful jaws, always use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs.
