What Is Going on With Bluefish???

[JOHN D]

Well, I guess somebody had to ask it. The other day I went on my normal bluefish boat party boat trip that i do annually do with my dad out of pp. when I was rigging up with a diamond jig the mate asked me if i had any fluke rigs. Fluke??? if i wanted fluke i would go on a fluke boat. turns out they haven't gotten a blue in weeks. Are you kidding me? I mean these are bluefish we are talking about, not exactly the most elusive species in our waters. What is going on, is it just a weird year or should i even dare to think that the worst happened and all our years of killing them by the boatload daily, finally caught up with us?
