Anglers Blitz Bluefish on the Brooklyn VI
We didn't find a single striped bass during a trip on the Brooklyn VI party boat out of Sheepshead Bay, N.Y. But there was non-stop bluefish action on diamond jigs. We started off the morning in Jamaic Bay, only a few minutes from the dock, where the biggest fish -- some 8 to 10-pounders, were nailed. The boat then headed south, and spent much of the morning and early afternoon jigging for bluefish off of New Jersey's Sandy Hook.

Fishing the Long Island Sound from 6:30 p.m. to midnight, anglers began nailing big stripers up to 30 pounds at about 9 p.m. The Riptide’s Capt. John Jorgensen landed the biggest fish of the night, while the pool fish – caught seconds before the boat headed back to dock – weighed in at 17 pounds. See the video from Thursday.

Anglers Nail Bluefish off New Jersey’s Sandy Hook on Sheesphead Bay Boat

The 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. trip Saturday night started off slow, but anglers soon began nailing bluefish up to 14 pounds. Most of the blues, caught off of New Jersey’s Sandy Hook on Sheepshead Bay, N.Y. party boat Brooklyn VI, were at least 8 pounds. The 100-foot boat was full, and with anglers using sardine chunks with just 1 ounce weights on their lines, there were plenty of tangles.
