Searching For the First Bluefish of the Season - New England

That time of year where the salt starts to come alive up here in RI. Bluefish reports were pretty good in the states to the south so I figured maybe I could find one or 3 up here in RI at the end of April. Gave it a shot, also tried some bay spots for Bass, overall, slow steady fishing.

    I won the pool on the Blackhawk out of Niantic back on a trip from Colorado in 2010. 16lb beauty. I grew up with a cottage in Misquamicut before we moved here to Colorado in 91’. I miss the hell out of the ocean and party boat fishing. It’s been 15yrs since I’ve been back east but it’s time for a trip. Love the channel man I don’t miss a video.

    Question: how do you like the Jigging World rod? I checked out the Nexus model today at J&B tackle in Niantic and it seemed nice. I really liked the grip on it. And for the money it seemed like high quality. I need a rod to pair with my vs250 but am not able to spend the $575 to get a odm frontier. If I were to get that brand, I’d be getting the 11’ 2-6oz

    If you must fish from the rocks find a safe place to retrieve your catch and have the proper foot wear. A couple of weeks ago we were mutual aided to a neighboring town and apparently a young man tried to land a fish or try a different approach and he slipped, hit his head and was snagged by the next guy to try his luck a little later that morning, DOA.

    big winter run in FLA, Blues tagged here that were recaptured off europe that have apparently returned, commercial guys claiming huge schools offshore.. those were the theories leading into this season for a big run here.
