Blues on the cape

Anyone gone fishing for blues up at the cape? Thinking about heading up there next week and want to know where they're running. Let me know if you've had any luck.

Can't really say for sure as most of my fishing has been in Buzzards Bay not the cape. I am perty sure I read something not long ago (though can't remember where now Sad

) that there was some blues caught near Seagull Beach...though again not familiar with that area too much myself.

I do a lot of fishing from shore in Buzzards Bay, and I can say at least from shore I have gotten a bunch of Scup , Sea-Robbins and such but no Blues, landed at least ( I suspect I had one on but he shook the hook mid jump fore I could get a good look). SO I would say that at least from shore in Buzzards Bay/south of the Cape, Blues have been slow at best.

Dun think that helps all that much but well..what can I do Smile

Depends on the size really..but pound for pound I think Blues are one of the fiercest fighters you can find. They eat like crazy too..when your out along a beach/bay or what-not keep your eyes to the water and look for large flocks of birds feeding off the water. Chances are this is a school of Blues just tearing apart baitfish..and if you can get a lure to that area..any lure really you will catch some.

additional reading too that will help explain some;
