Bluefish
Finding bluefish in Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania requires some understanding of the Delaware River's tidal influence. While not a prime bluefish destination, these aggressive predators can sometimes make their way up the Delaware into the brackish waters near Point Pleasant, particularly during periods of high salinity. The fall months, when baitfish are abundant and migrating, offer the best opportunity. Look for them around structures like bridges and pilings, where they ambush prey. Chunking with bunker or using metal lures with a fast retrieve are effective techniques. Be mindful of the strong currents in the Delaware; using heavier weights to keep your bait in the strike zone is crucial. A local access point is the Point Pleasant Canal, offering both shore and boat access to the river.
