Anglers target bluefish in many different areas. You can catch them along the beaches, near jetties, around the inlets and in the bays. These fish are very cooperative with live baits and artificial lures, which makes them a great species of fish for many anglers to target.
Bluefish Fishing in the Daytona Beach Area
Bluefish are very common on the Atlantic Coastline and these fish will move through the Daytona Beach area in good numbers every spring and fall. While you may still catch some of these fish here in the summer and winter, the spring and fall runs can provide some outstanding fishing if you can find the large schools of these fish. Bluefish are known for running the beaches and moving into inlets and even back into some of the inshore areas. The river mouths and inlets are great places to find some bluefish during the tidal changes. When the runs are going strong, you can catch them in bunches. Ponce Inlet is a good place to start when searching for bluefish here.
Bluefish Fishing Tips
Bluefish will eat a wide variety of baits and lures. You can catch them with topwater lures, jigs, spoons, 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.
