Something different

Nice...
I grew up fishing for bluefish off the beach, on the jetties, sandy hook n.j etc.

Those teeth would easily bite through any mono. We would make wire leaders and chunk for them offshore.

They are like a yellowtail but with strong teeth. Kind of like a piranha.

Here is a pic of a small one.

Yes indeed, the Atlantic is more like the Caribbean, wire leader where ever you go. Very nice post Josh & also nice hearing from you.

are the east coast version of a baracuda. I remember growing up in LBI we used to follow the birds and get into HUGE schools of them ....blood all over the deck of the boat. Don't wear sandals on a trip like that!

I wouldn't consider it the east coast baracuda.... I've fished in North Carolina and in eastern and south eastern Florida and belive me we have some big Cudas there!.... I would say more like the east coast Phirana!

You don't wan't to be in the water when these things are schooling either... We had a Surfer on Onslow beach ( Beach on Camp Lejeune) that lost a toe when he didn't realize he was in the middle of school!

I miss the east coast fishery sometimes. Bluefish can do some amazing damage to your lures. Thanks for the pics
