Bluefish
Bluefish, known for their aggressive strikes, can be found in Pennsylvania's coastal waters, although Port Matilda is further inland. Anglers will need to travel to the Delaware Bay or Atlantic Ocean to target these fish. The late summer and early fall is when bluefish activity peaks as they follow schools of baitfish. Look for surface blitzes where bluefish are actively feeding on bunker or other small fish. A local tip is to use wire leaders, as bluefish have sharp teeth that can easily cut through monofilament. Popular techniques include trolling spoons or casting poppers into feeding frenzies. Be aware that bluefish are often migratory, so their presence can vary from year to year. Their size can also fluctuate, but you can often find some hefty choppers during their peak season. Always check local fishing reports for current bluefish activity.
