Bluefish
If you're heading to Sag Harbor with bluefish on your mind, you're in for some exciting action. This area is a bluefish haven, especially when the bunker schools move in close to shore. The best time to target these aggressive predators is from late spring through fall, as they follow the migrating baitfish. Focus your efforts around Gardiners Bay and the Peconic Bay estuaries; these areas offer the perfect mix of structure and forage. A key local tip is to pay close attention to water clarity – bluefish prefer cleaner water, so target areas with good tidal flow. Also, be ready to adjust your depth; bluefish will move up and down in the water column depending on the temperature and current. These Sag Harbor bluefish are known for their fighting spirit, so be sure to bring tackle that can handle some serious runs.
