Bluefish
Bluefish can be an exciting surprise for anglers fishing around Three Mile Bay. While not as common here as in coastal waters, these aggressive predators occasionally venture into the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Your best bet is to target them during the warmer months, from late summer into early fall, when they follow schools of baitfish. Look for surface activity, such as birds diving or baitfish being pushed to the surface. Trolling spoons or casting topwater lures can be highly effective. Be sure to use wire leaders, as Bluefish have sharp teeth. Three Mile Bay offers good boat access, allowing you to quickly reach areas where Bluefish are likely to be feeding. Keep an eye on water conditions, as Bluefish prefer clear water with a good current. Remember to check local fishing regulations regarding size and bag limits for Bluefish.
