      I agree with you they are good eating and I would rather fish for Bluefish over Striped bass, its funny how there are people out there who claim to like seafood but there are levels to how much they like it in terms of how fishy it tastes.. Lol

      They are good cooked or sushi but the key is to eat them fresh. They produce an enzyme that degrades the meat quickly after they die that makes them taste off. Cooking them does not destroy the enzyme so no leftovers!

    Elias, another great day of catching! I too was down then and got into a school of those blues in the surf moving up the island chasing those bait fish. They would follow the bait into the surf onto the sand and beach themselves! Never seen THAT before. They tore up my Hopkins treble hooks (got to get some of those you mentioned) and of course my 30# braid. I don't see the link to your equipment on this clip - I need some heavier gear for those blues in my kayak. I've got to backfill my tackle box after that run!
    PS - cooked some that were delicious. Skinless filets, S&P, dredged and lightly coated with breadcrumbs, squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Baked in foil for about 20 minutes. Absolutely delicious like 8.5-9!

    Nice video and it looked good to eat! I love to make fish cakes with Bluefish and they always taste great! Maybe try it next time!
    When I was 12 fishing under Montauk lighthouse fishing from the surf I saw a guy try to unhook a 10/12lb bluefish that basically nearly swallowed a pencil popper that had two treble hooks. That guy stuck his hand in its mouth and lost his thumb. He was standing on a rock the size of a mini van and the whole thing was red.

    It's interesting how different our Blues are to yours (we call them Tailor). Ours are generally smaller and the big ones hardly ever hit lures when the sun is on the water - especially not in the shallows. We target the big ones in the surf or off rocky headlands in the pre-dawn.

Biggest of the day was 24" but all of the ones I caught were 19" an over. They were all mixed in with trout at creek mouths and deep spots farther back.

    Bluefish is only good if you trim all the red meat from under the skin. The red contains the fat/ oils which melts when you cook and contaminates everything with a very fishy (think anchovies) flavor. Bluefish should always be bled and kept on ice..unless you like mush and anchovy flavor.
