Bluefish already????????????

[myentourage]

I heard through the grapevine today that there has been some blue showing up around the cape already. Is this true? Has anyone heard of this?

 

[Hooper]

I have not heard that. There is a guy who has been getting keeper bass all winter, up to 29 lbs!

 

[myentourage]

Wow thats even better. This was a EPO who told me this. Probably pulling my leg.

We have had stripers all winter off south shore of Long Island.

Could be bluefish down off the islands.. who knows tho. Has been a really really mild winter so anythings possible

I hope the blues are not moving this early!
I need 750-1000 mackeral in May to have bait for my lobster traps this summa!

I dont even want to think about gillnetting bluefish, getting them in a cast net is hell. Not to mention the 3 hours of repairing the net...
