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 along the Mississippi Coast
Bluefish are very common from spring through fall as they migrate along the Mississippi coastline. When these fish move into this area, anglers usually find them throughout along the beaches, in the bays and back in some of the inshore areas too. The fishing is usually best in the spring and then again in the fall.
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.
