Bluefish are common inshore and nearshore around Port St. Joe. Anglers target bluefish with live baits and artificial lures. They tend to hang out in schools, so if you can find them, you have a good chance to catch quite a few of them in a short amount of time.
How to Catch Bluefish
They can be found in great numbers near Canada’s Maritime Provinces during the summer and they are prevalent throughout the entire Atlantic Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. Bluefish are mostly found inshore in bays, along the beaches, around jetties, inlets and many other areas inshore.
Bluefish will eat a wide variety of baits and lures. You can catch them with topwater lures, jigs, spoons, plugs, crankbaits and many different types of live bait and cut bait. Wire leaders are a good idea when fishing for bluefish because their sharp teeth can easily cut through regular fishing line. Anglers target bluefish in many different areas. You can catch them in the surf along the beaches, near jetties, around the inlets and in the bays.
