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 Golden Isles Area
Bluefish are very common on the Atlantic Coastline and these fish will move through the waters of the Golden Isles 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 are definitely capable of producing some very good fishing opportunities for anglers who target them. 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.
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.
