462.0. "Blues ???" by CIMNET::GAFFNEY () Fri Aug 28 1987 21:04

      Has anyone been into the Blues in the last week or so?
    Would appreciate hearing from anyone who may had had some
    luck.  Location, time of day (or night), bait, weight, etc.
    Looking forward to doing battle with the warriors from the
    deep.
    
                                                  thanks
                                                 The Gaffer

    Three of us went out of Point Judith R.I. a few nights ago on a
    party boat.  It was a little slow only about 40-50 blues on the
    whole boat.  We used silver spoons with red tubing on the hooks.
    I wished we used bait instead.

    You don't say where you're located or where you'll be fishing, BUT...
    
    Down here in Jersey we've had anything from a "decent pick" to an
    all-out blitz. Action on the beach is definitely picking up, and
    late afternoon/early evening seems best right now. Just about all
    day long we've been watching schools of blues and bonito breaking
    about 1/4 mile + off shore. These schools seem to in and out as
    well as up and down the coast. It looks like even the party boats
    are just going out and "chasing birds".
    
    Typically, from this time (of year) on, action with blues should
    really be building to a peak as they get ready to migrate.
    
    Good luck and let us know how you do.

    We were fishing plum island sound yesterday: The blues are everywhere!
    Try the parker river or Ipswich river. Also a few bass where reported
    in the area. The Merrimack is also good.
