Peter, I nearly choked on my coffee when that blue broke off. At Hudson Park, the blues show up late in the day/early evening going into the back bay hunting bunker. Some quite large and caught in shallow water. Seems like they are getting ready for fall. Greetings from Gio, Western Long Island Sound.
Gio lol yeah it was a bummer, that fish kicked my butt man. I think people underestimate how quickly these fish move in and out of the bays to feed, thats so cool you find them like that. Seriously, signs of fall are basically here already
Ob bridge! Love fishing there, if this is local to you and you see a Seadoo fish pro floating thru come by and say hi! Love you’re videos man! Keep up the great work!
It depends on the boat, but we typically diamond jig for the blues, using single hooks, not trebles. Some use live eels for bait fishing. But I've caught some nice blues simply using frozen squid or menhaden.
I notice that the head boats diamond jig them a lot too. I guess it makes more sense fishing a faster drift and in deeper water...Nice Josh, I think they really will eat anything when they are in the mood
Hey Pete, caught a nice 10 pound blue out at Orient point yesterday. Man, these fish fight hard. Also caught a 17" blackfish which unfortunately is out of season. Also caught a lot of Porgy's in multiple spots which makes the day go by quickly.
@@allseasonfishing4030 I honestly caught a medium sized one on my way in the first day out and tried smoking it and doing a video but I messed up the smoking amount and over smoked it so the video didn’t work out. Lol it’s not easy to get the perfect smoked bluefish because the size pieces you put in the smoker will matter greatly on the time you have to smoke it.
lol yea I have kept them in the past and while they do taste good smoked, its just a lot of work for me to process fish and I didn't have time this trip. I hope you get on these fish over there man 🤙
Peter So many thoughts about this clip. 1st. I doubt you notice in real time. But hearing it... through my head phones.... every vehicle crossing that bridge was a task.... But I stuck it out. Next 6:37 This is 2023. You MUST keep your "pronouns" straight. You can not say "Big mama" followed by "HE spit the hook". Hee hee hee Last.... I'm always amazed too, about the CONDITIONS. Looks like no fish and the bite goes off (like this clip). Or the opposite. The conditions look perfect and getting shut out (the clips you don't post). But for baits. I'm NEVER surprised any more..... Here's why. Think like a fish. We've all heard "big bait, big fish." That doesn't mean that if you use a big bait, you'll catch a big fish. That means .... If you use a big enough bait, you can weed out SOME of the smaller fish. But..... Fish are opportunistic. If it's "feeding time" they are gonna eat. .. big or small. So.... Let's, for now, only consider the big fish. .... What if it's feeding time. It's GOING TO EAT !. What if it's full? Maybe.... the big fish lays off a "BIG" bait because it's full because it's been EATING. But... It might still strike a smaller bait thinking.... "I can squeeze this little after dinner mint into my full belly". So.... I no long thing "big bait, big fish". I'm cool with smaller baits..... but heavy tackle ! ! ! 30 pound braid, medium heavy rod, 3,000 reel and stout hooks.... incase a big fish bites. Was that too much? Nice double clip.
hahaha, you crack me up Francus always love hearing these type of comments. the bridge sound is very annoying, I do apologize. 😂 is all I can say about the fish pronouns 😂 Your so right though about the small baits and big fish. I guess I really shouldn't be that surprised anymore. same for big baits to avoid small fish, that is also so true. haha I like that train of thought on the opportunistic meal that is small but easy to get and even if they're full are more likely to eat it. Its a balance with the heavier tackle though you don't want to overdo the gear so that you get more tired jigging. my first set up was def too light, the secodn setup was perfect i think, like you mention medium heavy rod and 3000 reel. leader is everything with these blues too, that fish I lost i had only 20lb leader and it chaffed at the leader, if that was even 30lb I think I may have landed it, but its true you also dont want to tire out the fish too much...

So did I and I had a feeling that was going to happen
That’s so sick. Are you getting them on artificial? Or bait?
@@frankwilliams6891 mainly peanut bunker dead or alive or bunker chunk.
haven't been here sense you no brainer smacked the heck out those stripers last spring. enjoyed as usual.
haha thanks for returning!
That striper. Great!!
Thanks, yeah for august in the bay that’s a good one!
Ob bridge! Love fishing there, if this is local to you and you see a Seadoo fish pro floating thru come by and say hi! Love you’re videos man! Keep up the great work!
awesome! I live very close to this bridge, next time I see someone fishing off a seadoo I'll say hi, thanks and see ya out there!
Nice striper on a small hook! And Blue!
thanks Will, the small hook did the job, but its def more risky for a bluefish to just inhale the whole thing
Hey Pete. Had a bunch of nice blues in jones bay. Bite started around 0630 went on through until 0745. Love your vids.
Very nice! So glad they are here this year man, keep getting em 🤙
Porgies love worms!!
Truth!

Yup. Kayak trolling kills em every time. Just something about it works when casting does not! Big figure 8’s works well in the yak. So fun.
its really something else. I like that figure 8 method, makes a lot of sense!
Man that was a big Blue but I had a feeling it was going to get loose, shit but that was nice man, safe Travels
Yeah was outmatched but I still should’ve been more east at the end there. Coulda shoulda woulda. Thanks man 🤙
@@PeterRanieriII yeah but you had fun, till the next time

Heck yeah Robert, they really do fight hard! nice blackfish, cant wait for that season man...haha porgies def keep you busy
A question, what essence do you put on the seńuelos? That is, the white pot, what is it called and what flavor or smell is it?
That stuff is called procure and it’s the menhaden baitfish scent
nice ones bro
Thanks man 🤙 these guys are a lot of fun
hell yea love them blues they fight hard . . U should of smoked that big boy up 🙌😋😋 do it next time 🙌😋
