But blues can often spot wire, and will actually bite off chunks of your bait on either side of the hook. You'll regularly need to use wire leader to keep from getting bitten off.When choosing artificial lures for trolling or casting, shiny silver metals often work best and wobbling spoons are always a go-to lure. Accordingly, they’re attracted to lots of flash.

Bluefish will eat just about anything, but the majority of their diet is made up of finfish.If all you get are swings and misses, down-size your bait so the fish has a better chance of getting a hook in its jaws on the first few attacks. It may take several hits and misses before the blue finds your hook, but that’s not problematic since they usually keep coming back for more.
