Default Re: Inshore Bluefin

yeah its definitely not an organized fishery.. a few guides/charter boats will take you out looking for them .. basically you have schools of BFT migrating south from new england to virginia/carolinas.. they can take a track as far out as the shelf or as close as right up on the beach when they pass NJ. generally with all the bait moving south inshore off Jersey you get a few cracks at bluefins in late november and december busting sandeels and herring but the entire effort is tricky.. tricky to find them.. tricky to get a bait in front of them... and they are notoriously finicky when you do. a few get caught trolling ballyhoo .. a few on jigs.. and a few guys will run and gun them with stickbaits. they are mediums about 125lb average I would say.
