Have you fished for bluefish in the mid-teens? These fish are strong fighters and when they get to be this size they can be a challenge and you need to be ready to safely land and quickly release them.

The following film is all about that early spring body of large bluefish that comes into our shallow Long Island back bays, where they engage in a behavior called “finning”.

Bluefish finning is what we call when their tail and dorsal fins come out of the water, when slowly cruising, barely moving or almost idle on top of the water.

Fly fishing or conventional tackle these fish strong fighters and will crush any top water presentation.

Lets hope they return in good numbers this season!

Best of luck and tight lines!
