How to Catch Bluefish from a Boat
Bluefish are powerful, fast moving fish that tend to travel in schools. A large bluefish is about 3 feet long. They are great fighting fish and can provide a large level of excitement and enjoyment. You can use live bait, but the best way to catch bluefish is by using a bluefish lure or rig. Decent size bluefish usually swim in deeper water so casting your line from the shore into shallow water will probably not get you the big fish. You really need to be on a boat or somewhere where the water is deep.
