The fighting bluefish certainly needs no introduction in these parts. Pound for pound they're one of the scrappiest fish at sea. No doubt a reason why they're considered the East Coast's most popular game fish. Bluefish can be found just about anywhere there's saltwater.

But along Maryland's coast, the really big "chopper" blues will typically be found 5-25 miles out in the ocean. Here fishermen enjoy the true versatility of these gamefish as they pursue them using any of a variety of techniques and tactics including trolling, chumming, bottom fishing, jigging, kite fishing, plugging, and fly casting.

Throughout the summer, these same near shore waters also become home-sweet-home to schools of king and Spanish mackerel, false albacore, dolphin, Atlantic and oceanic bonito. This smorgasbord of fish can make for some very enjoyable trolling over and around the humps and drop-offs where they congregate. Consider it "a slightly scaled down version of big game fishing."
