If bluefish were to grow as big as giant Soundsfishies, then there would be nothing left out there except for red herrings!

Ed is correct, beginning of May arrival. If the weather is calm you can see them on top and pop them up before they spawn mid-month. They are frustrating when they spawn, they're visible but frequently not eating at that time.

I have got them as early as late April in the Housy mouth.

I found a way to get them to bite during the spawn Mark.....no joke...

Troll an umbrella rig (small tubes) with MONO......just make small/short circles with the boat around the finning activity.....
I found this works (back when I fished for these damm things)
