Bluefish
While West Point, PA, isn't directly on the coast, targeting bluefish requires understanding their migratory patterns into the Delaware River's brackish waters. These aggressive feeders push upriver following schools of baitfish, particularly bunker (menhaden), in the late summer and early fall. Focus your efforts around areas where the salinity changes, like the mouths of creeks and tributaries entering the Delaware. Because bluefish are voracious, natural presentations like cut bait or live-lined bunker are effective. Adjust your depth based on water temperature and current; blues will often hold in deeper channels during the day and move shallower to feed at dawn and dusk. A local tip: check the tide charts and fish the outgoing tide when baitfish are flushed out of the marshes. Access to the river is limited, so research public boat ramps or consider chartering a local guide familiar with bluefish hotspots.
