Bluefish
While Port Byron, NY, isn't directly on the coast, accessing bluefish requires a trip to the saltwater or brackish waters of the Long Island Sound and surrounding areas. These aggressive predators follow baitfish schools, making seasonal forage the key. Bluefish arrive in force during the late spring and summer as water temperatures rise. Look for them blitzing on bunker (menhaden) schools – a surface feeding frenzy is a sure sign they're around. Natural presentations like cut bait or live eels work wonders. Given Port Byron's inland location, plan your trips around weather windows that offer safe boating conditions on the Sound. Also, be mindful of the tides; outgoing tides often concentrate baitfish, drawing in the blues. Many anglers launch from the eastern shore of the Sound, where access points are plentiful.
