Bluefish
Bluefish blitzes are a staple of the fishing scene around Westhampton Beach, NY, and for good reason. These aggressive predators are abundant in the area's saltwater bays and nearshore waters, offering exciting action for anglers of all skill levels. The fall is prime time, as the bluefish gorge themselves on baitfish before heading south. Look for birds diving and surface commotion, as these are telltale signs of a blitz. Casting metal lures, poppers, or swimming plugs into the fray will often result in an immediate hookup. If you're fishing from a boat, try trolling spoons or tube lures along the edges of channels and inlets. A popular access point is the Shinnecock Inlet, which provides access to both the bay and the ocean. Be aware that bluefish have sharp teeth, so use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. They are often found in large schools, so when you find one, you'll likely find many. Always check the current regulations for size and bag limits.
