Blue Fish, Bluefish
Bluefish are colored blue or greenish blue on back and have silvery side and large mouths with prominent sharp teeth capable of cutting through flesh and small bones. A blue fish has compressed dorsal and anal fins nearly the same size and scales small, their lateral line is almost straight.
Found along the american coast the young bluefish usually INSHORE spring and summer, moving OFFSHORE to join adults fall and winter; strong migration of northeast Atlantic stock to Florida east coast in winter. We find blues along the beaches, inlets and Port Canaveral in our winters.
Blue fish travel in large schools, following baitfish, they can be cannibalistic and all members of a given school are usually about the same size Blues are ofen found spawning OFFSHORE in spring and summer.
Bluefish are NOT picky eaters and will devour amost anyting thrown at them including but not limited to dead bait, live bait, spoons, lures, fingers and loose clothing. Blues (as they're often referred to) are capable of inflicting serious bites to an angler and if you observe them they are looking for the opportunity to bite the hand that's taking them off the hook. Blue fish are not the best tablefare because of their dark oily meat. Young blue fish are acceptable eating when they are under four pounds.
