Bluefish
Although Port Carbon is inland, access to Bluefish requires a trip to Pennsylvania's coastal waters. The Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are your destinations. Bluefish are aggressive predators, making them a popular target for anglers. They are most abundant from late spring through fall, following schools of baitfish. Look for them in areas with strong currents, such as inlets and channels, or where birds are actively feeding. Casting metal spoons, topwater plugs, or drifting cut bait are effective methods. A local tip is to use wire leaders, as Bluefish have sharp teeth that can easily sever monofilament or fluorocarbon lines. Be prepared for a spirited fight, as Bluefish are known for their powerful runs. Keep in mind that Bluefish often travel in large schools, so if you find one, there are likely more nearby. Always consult the current PA fishing regulations for size and creel limits on Bluefish in the saltwater zone.
