I understand there are times when ANY species gets picky or spooky and won't hit, but past few years I have seen many reports similar to this one of blues being tough to catch.. In my day 2-4 pound Blues always seemed bound and determined to commit suicide on anything you had on a line.. any lure, any bait, dead, alive, decomposed,, didn't matter.. if they were around you caught them.... These days?- not so much... bob

NOT the Capt. but being on the water yesterday for Fluke and Triggers my guess as we passed some schools of blues and birds is that the schools are moving fast and not really concentrated from top to bottom so hard to stay on them for any boat let alone a party boat. Run and Gun / Get a couple each pass and then they are gone or somewhere else. Amount of triggers in NJ inshore grounds are plentiful and aggressive
