Steam bones for 5 min. Bluefish Bluefish follow the Stripers in their migration but like water a little warmer. Blues are the wolves of the sea, in turn they are chased and eaten by Tuna. They are fast, strong and truely awesome biters. You'll loose it.
Casters throw poppers and spoons from the beach and jettys.
As more Blues arrive, they swim up the canal to Cape Cod Bay and along the Coast 'round Monomoy Island in early June. While Bluefish eat everything from each other to Flounder fry, they have a definite yearning for sand eels and squid. Often as Blues and Stripers swim together, the Blues will be above and the Stripers below in the water column. Also, when both sand eels and herring fry are together in the ocean, you'll find Sand Eels in the Blues and Herring fry in the Stripers. Blues remain feeding in the rips and hunting in schools around the Cape until early November when last seen from the Vineyard.
