The Bluefish Have Returned...
By: Capt. Hap Farrell
To make it short and sweet, the bluefish are back in Cape Cod Bay. This last Wednesday I left Rock Harbor and went up to the Stony Bar area and started trolling an umbrella rig through the area. I got up by the #5 can and turned around and headed towards the #3 can. Out of nowhere with no sign I went tight. I, at first, thought it might be a small bass. To my delight it was a small bluefish. It will not be long. When the water warms a bit these fish will show up in force. I figure about a week or better. Especially with the newly arrive poggies that moved into Welfleet Harbor.
