Bluefish on the Flats | Cape Cod, MA | S20 E06

- When bluefish move onto the sandy flats on the south side of Cape Cod, they present fun and exciting topwater fishing opportunities. They can also be frustratingly picky, at least when it comes to sight casting with flies.
On this trip, Jimmy tries to get a good bluefish on the fly rod while Chris casts topwaters.

"Never doubted you for a minute, Jimmy!" Love the banter
This gets us so excited for the Spring! Thanks.
Thanks for the inspiration gentleman, can't wait for spring 🎣
Chesapeake striper chaser here 🦀
Great videos 👍
Getting me thru to opening day
That was a fun video to watch! Need this Noreaster on the way out of here!
You guys should've brought John skinner he's an expert
He sure would help class things up around here.
Lol they definitely needed an expert
The blues last season were unbelievable up the cape and along Nantucket. Solid episode gentlemen 👏🏾
Thank you! Hope they come back strong again this year.
We are in a bluefish drought here in Raritan Bay NY. The last 5 Spring runs have been lackluster. Very few lean and hungry Spring busters. Even the summer/ fall snapper run was terrible. Glad they are healthy elsewhere at least.
Jimmy, Chris was suppose to lure the fish to your fly yet it was the opposite you were luring the alligators to Chris, great video as always thank you, Peace.
Thank you for watching!
Bluefish are too often unnecessarily maligned - I've fished that same area for years, and it's always exciting when one of those mean bastards hits, especially on a fly rod-pound for pound among the toughest I've caught, including albies, bonefish, and tarpon.
Cool video!
Most underrated gamefish in NE
You guys should do more surfcasting content. Also, when is the first striper migration map coming??? Can’t wait
well said in the intro. blues are aggressive, mysterious fish. i caught a monster last year off of cape ann in a hell of a northeast wind. 12-15+ lbs, definitely my pb of that particular species. i mention it because that was the only bluefish i have seen in years and i fish 2-3 hours a day [albiet a lot further north than cape cod.] just a mean, enigmatic fish. i was thigh deep in my shorts and did not want him swimming that close to my junk. hooked a giant bass in that same storm and the blue pulled harder. they're so violent that they foul themselves and end up wearing your plug like a harness high on their heads and shoulders. pulled harder than a 30# bass and that is no exaggeration. when i was young they would come and go. i would see them working on the essex river and they would bite small stripers and bunker in half. you could catch them on chunked bait. now they are rare in ipswich, essex, gloucester, southern nh and the merrimack. i've never understood why there are no regulations regarding their size. they're not a great eating fish. i think the attitude is there in part because they kill and eat small stripers.
I love topwater fishing for blues but I got the biggest 1s using chunk bait on the bottom at the race.
Great Stuff! Is it May yet!!?
You guys need to go see Capt Fred Tonkin out of Straight Wharf, Nantucket
Did i miss where he showed the fly? Plenty on tying the leader, but I caught nothing on the fly.
Small fish, good eating size.
"Smoke-o-Ono'd It" ~ can you provide the origin of this term? Lol. Can this be on the next OTW T-shirt drop?
What were the fly set-ups?
I don't like how he kept the blue around just to keep the school blitzing.the fish was over tired and left with a hook in it
Just wondering, why you guys don’t use a net?
Can you give the recipe for that Smoked Bluefish Dip? It looked awesome.
Reminds me of a bluefish recipe my friend told me about years ago...
Catch one Bluefish.
De-hook.
Release for another day.
Or: the best tasting bluefish
Are the ones you release...😄
Thanks for watching! Here's the Smoked Bluefish Dip recipe: www.onthewater.com/recipe-smoked-bluefish-dip We'll add that link in the description as well. Enjoy!
Dude needs a fly casting lesson and to go out with a guide. Will accelerate his learning curve like crazy.
Which harbor did you head out of?
Falmouth.
Bring back the original intro music.
It still runs ahead of the show on NBC Sports Boston!
10-2 Jimbo
Things broke down once the bluefish were spotted, and it ended up being more of a 7-Eleven casting style.
@@OnTheWaterMedia hahaha still got the job done.
Fabulous...take me out to the FLATS. Whatever the price$ Reply?
They call it daisy chaining huh? Lol think you just came up with that these guys are goofy
It's exactly what it's called when tarpon do it.
Need a moratorium on these things we didn’t know we had em so good til they were gone cmon 15 fish no size limit in jersey a year ago there needs a zero take or slot or something haven’t seen a bluefish consistent over 10lbs inshore in way too long
It's the same in RI. There used to be a bag limit of 15 per person, but now, they slashed it to only 3. The same for fluke. It went from 8 to 4. Cod went from 10 to 5, and as of this year, there's a slot limit of 22-28 inches.
Exactly!
Use a line basket… sooooooo much easier and simpler ANYWHERE ! And a faster retrieve with a double hand, rod under the arm, technique.
