05/14 -- I went to Atlantic City with my friend Bryant R. for some Bluefish. We had a very decent day right next to the Harrah's Casino! Then, we moved to the jetty for some Multi-Species fishing.

[@bryantreddy3288]

This trip was really great for my first time blue fishing. I went again the the other day an had a blast. Wished you was there. I'm planing a boat trip soon for use

[@extremephillyfishing]

Bryant Reddy Good to hear that, Bryant. When I get better, we will be fishing. Hah.

[@johnnybui6422]

Bryant Reddy I can confirm that, you was crushing them right besides me. Looked like a pro lol

[@nn0673]

Finally someone who keeps the bluefish catches. These actually taste very good when caught fresh, i never understood why so many people say it tastes terrible. Cooking it with veggies and sauce, the flavors actually come together quite nicely.

[@extremephillyfishing]

NN067 Heh. Even though 90% of my fishing is freshwater, I tend to eat saltwater fish only. I can understand why many people wouldn't like Bluefish; however, they are delicious in my opinion! I guess to each his own... Tight lines, NN067!

[@TheFishingNomad]

Nice video. Bluefish are what got me back into fishing when I lived in New Jersey. When I think of some of my best fishing memories it's me and my friends in high school not having a clue what we were doing, but still having a blast chasing those blues.

[@tyroneriley4386]

my favorite video that you have uploaded by far..great action and probably the biggest reason I now own both a Cortland endurance 10' and a shimano symetre 4000FL great combo and doing well with it....tight lines

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Tyrone Riley Glad to see that the combo is working for ya! Tight lines, Tyrone!

[@dallascowboys8681]

All metal silver lure with a metal leader. DONE never had to keep changing bait

[@extremephillyfishing]

+GoPackers Go This video was from when I first caught Bluefish (_Pomatomus saltatrix_) down in NJ, GoPackers Go. Thus, I was using a Zoom Fluke with a Noodle Rod. LOL. I didn't know what to expect. Nowadays, I use a Tsunami rod with Diamond Jigs for them. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@pwalk116]

I just pulled into the Borgata and figured I’d look to see where to fish down here. My man Leo has a video, awesome!

[@nikim6986]

Nice videos. Love watching them. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Niki M Thank you very much, Niki M. I am glad that you enjoy the contents here on the Channel. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@ionicbreeze]

Thanks to this video I caught my first bluefish today down the street from here!

[@extremephillyfishing]

That is awesome, ionicbreeze! I am very glad to hear that! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@latraviousweaver3614]

ionicbreeze Hi

[@elikieza4153]

i got bit by one, took a nice chuck of skin also here in Australia we call them Tailor. Great Video :)

[@extremephillyfishing]

+eli kieza Ouch! They do have very dangerous teeth and powerful jaws. I am glad that the fish only took your skin, eli! Thanks for watching! Tight lines!

[@thetailchasers2137]

Great Job EPP, I fished that same spot 3 times and skunked. Well at least you got em.

[@Raiderfn31]

Wow that looks like fun! Great weather too. I've never caught blues on lures, always on cut mullet

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Stephen Loflin Definitely lots of fun during the Bluefish Spring migration. You should definitely give it a try! Tight lines, Stephen!

[@Raiderfn31]

Extreme Philly Fishing Tight lines, bro!

[@NFStuff]

I eat 1+kg bluefish to 12kg ones. it needs to be really cleaned and if the blood is drained out totally makes it a really good fish for brazilian dishes. I fish them and get big ones. Big fight for minutes. One of my favourite catches.

[@ocean101bob4]

To the disrespectful sad sacks that did thumbs down to his videos. If you don't like it don't watch it! The man is just trying to enjoy his life as a FISHING and share his hard to do videos . He is not making a statement that deserves a black ball. You are in my opinion, a very unkind person to do that. BOB AF2DX

[@johndunne9255]

Thank you for sharing your outings Leo! I really enjoy watching your program I’m from Delco I fish John Heinz all the time for snake head, such a beautiful fish it does get a bad rap but I believe it does zero to the ecosystem Also it’s an exciting new fish now we can catch...

[@BasicFishingNZ]

great video lol that first bluefish destroyed ur softbait. and those blues sure put a great bend on the rods lol

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Basic_Fishing Thanks for watching, Basic_Fishing! And yes -- lb per lb, Bluefish fight awesomely! Definitely recommended. Tight lines AND FISH ON!

[@justrandomthings4985]

Great fishing! Try Belmar there are tons of blues there. Caught a nice 8 pounder last week on a diamond jig. Keep it up!

[@bigman8775]

Nice video! Oh haven't caught a bluefish, but a lot of snappers, sea bass, skates, sea robins. Keep on the fishing man!

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Ass Waffle Thanks for watching, Ass Waffle! That's a good collection of Species right there. Tight lines and FISH ON!

[@bigman8775]

+Extreme Philly Fishing Update! I CAUGHT A 20 POUND BLUEFISH

[@extremephillyfishing]

Ass Waffle Very nice, man! Glad to hear that it worked out for you in the end! Awesome catch. Congratulations. Tight lines!

[@nolanminor6761]

Do you fish with leaders? I use about a 15" piece of 40-60lb mono or fluorocarbon when casting for blues so they don't chop my baits off. Also, flukes may be the go-to for that area (it's amazing how the same fish prefer completely different baits from region to region in saltwater) but I would highly recommend gotcha plugs, they are excellent when you fish from an elevated position like that and blues absolutely love them. Good video!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Nolan Minor No, I do not use leaders for Bluefish (although, I know I should. Heh). Once again, I'll take up your advice and check out the gotcha plugs. I appreciate the support! Tight lines.

[@extremephillyfishing]

***** There are different techniques for different types of lures. The one I used in the video is a Zoom Fluke on a 3/8 oz. jighead. After casting, I pretty much reel it in at a steady pace while twitching it a couple times every couple seconds.

[@metsdynastyx]

Hey @exteme have you hit this spot again lately? I went this week and got snagged just about every time I threw cut bait in.

[@evanwarwick3629]

Great video and keep catching them

[@extremephillyfishing]

Evan Warwick thanks, Evan! Glad to see that you enjoy the videos. Tight lines.

[@DEPARTUERS19]

[@extremephillyfishing]

[@ronyjoe215]

we use blue fish for sharkbait where I live but we ate them once and they actually tasted ok

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Rony joe I bet they are great bait! I have used Bluefish for Channel Catfish and it works wonders. Their oiliness is no joke. Hah. I have eaten them as well, and they were actually delicious! Tight lines, Rony!

[@clauzellblackshear380]

They get big up there those blue fish Im originally from the northeast Springfield Massachusetts but raised in Savannah Georgia and in the south they are small

[@caydenmcnutt3749]

hey Leo, first saw you on 1 rod's channel and thought this guy should start a channel.lol Then i found out you did and subbed immediately. You should come and catch some multi species here in Durban South Africa.

[@extremephillyfishing]

T Hawk Thanks, Hawk! Tight lines!

[@jack.m017]

wow that rod is super light must be fun to have it bend like that lol

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Jack Min Absolutely, Jack! The rod on the video is one of my favorite rods: a 9' Cortland Endurance Spin noodle rod. I highly recommend! Tight lines!

[@jackhurst2091]

You should do a catch and cook video

[@kelliinezlopez4244]

Are blue fish good to eat? We've never eaten them before. My boyfriend catches them all the time to use for bait he's caught some huge shark and big King Mackerel using them!

[@Andervt555]

+Kelliinez Lopez They taste excellent fresh. Quality drops when you freeze the meat and turns mushy.

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Kelliinez Lopez They are certainly good eating when fresh (as Andervt described) and also awesome as bait! I would recommend you to eat the ones between 2-5lbs, though -- harmless levels of heavy metals in them. If you eat the Bluefish that are 5lbs+, there may be too many heavy metals in them for your body to process. Needless to say, they are AWESOME when cooked on the spot! :) Tight lines, Kelliinez!

[@ocean101bob4]

Fishing is such a beautiful sport. WTH, WHO gave reason for all the thumbs down?

[@georgia_dawgs_2746]

That looked awesome. What are some of your favorite saltwater pier fishing lures?

[@extremephillyfishing]

+GeorgiaBassin To tell you the truth, I rarely fish saltwater piers. Hah. You can see that I have my Florida Fishing videos in the Channel and very few other saltwater videos here; therefore, I am definitely not an expert when it comes to that. In this video, I used Zoom Flukes and I loved it. Though, next time I would very likely use something metallic! Lol. Tight lines, GeorgiaBassin!

[@georgia_dawgs_2746]

+Extreme Philly Fishing Ok thanks man. I should give flukes a try.

[@bjones2463]

He said, "yes. Fish awn."

[@TomV888]

What lb test/ Rod and Bait you use? Thanks for reigniting my childhood love for fishing!

[@pinenutc]

if U cut out all the dark meat, U will get rid moist the mercury. great video! thanks!!

[@extremephillyfishing]

+David O'Shea While it is true that most of the heavy metals are in the guts and bloodstream, the white meat fillet in Bluefish (_Pomatomus saltatrix_) does have heavy metals and PCBs as well! Thus, make sure to consult your state's fish consumption guidelines before eating any type of fish from your local water! Thanks for watching and tight lines, David!

[@pinenutc]

i believe it thanks...

[@OriginalBoldtruth]

You on the AC side? Also, what time of the day.

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Scott Neuman That is correct, Scott. Though, this video was from 1 year ago. That was in the afternoon, 1-4 p.m. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

flurocarbon with blues? you dont have issues with them biting threw the line?

+Wills420913 posted that half way in 6:30 in answered my own question

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Wills420913 Glad that you found your answer, Wills. I am definitely going braided for Blues this year. Hah. And no soft plastics. Tight lines and fish on!

[@alhenry92]

Is this near the boat launch? I'm planning on going here this summer for my first bluefishin trip in the kayak but I like to keep my.options open

[@bebeetmaternite6269]

Why not wire leaders? The bite seems fast there and the wire shouldn't affect the bite that much I hope

[@newyota1]

Heading there next week.Would there be any blues there to try for at that time or is it too early?

[@fishingtheeast4898]

Use 40 or best 60 lb floro leader or best steel leaders is the main way to go advoid soft plastics use Ava's or some type of metal lures

[@extremephillyfishing]

William Coder I love the action of the Zoom Flukes and the fact that I can catch some other types of fish on it, but will keep your advice in mind! As a matter of fact, that's what the locals use specifically for Bluefish.

[@reason162]

Perfect eating size, hope you bled them out and put them on ice immediately. Properly cared-for bluefish = the most underrated food species in the northeast. Great smoking fish too!

[@carlosmojica2821]

Hey you should come back to Atlantic city some time the blues are hitting now cought 10 of them today you should bring 1R1R with you as well

[@extremephillyfishing]

I have heard good reports of cocktail Blues recently, Carlos! I definitely should make a trip down there. Hehe. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@mylesbosley4675]

the fishing is fast enough but this spring me and my father caught big blues to 17 lbs now they will tear your stuff up also you should trymfly fishing for them its better fight those little blues are everwhere and theyll hit anything but cool vid

[@extremephillyfishing]

Myles Bosley 17lbs! That's amazing. I have never tried salt-water fly fishing, so I will definitely add it to my list! Tight lines!

I hope you can reply but do you have any tips for this place. Me and my family came here in the winter this year hearing good things about it. I didn't go here with the highest hopes since it was the first time fishing here. But like the parking was hell and confusing and the fishing wasn't good either. We got snagged with both of our rods right away. We went home disappointed but it won't be the last time we are gonna try here. Can you give advice or tips? You're half the reason I wanna try here again another day.

[@extremephillyfishing]

+ASIAN THE FIRST Of course. I would recommend a high low rig, fished to the right of the spot that you see in this video. That is for Winter time fishing over there for Spotted Hake (video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWqrenmAntVnfdk). Night time best. Hope you catch some fish! Tight lines!

Do you know how the bluefish are getting the mercury exactly?

[@Raiderfn31]

+thesteveus Big ones in the US have the nickname "choppers"

[@thesteveus]

+Stephen Loflin Yep, similar over here, the smaller ones are called choppers though, and ours a more of a greeny colour than blue.

[@Raiderfn31]

thesteveus Yeah, in the outer banks we call blues in the 10-20 lb range choppers. They are great fighters and very tasty! What do you use for bait? I usually use cut mullet but people use Hopkins spoons also. When they are feeding you could probably cast a bare hook and catch one.

[@thesteveus]

+Stephen Loflin Best bait I find are pilchards (called mulies here in the west) they are pretty much a sardine type fish that you put on whole using 3 hooks ganged together, most lures work well with poppers being a favourite.

Leo, do you have to pay to park your car in that area where you are or is there free parking in that area?

[@extremephillyfishing]

MrGb4ever That day my friend and I actually parked in the Harrah's Casino Parking lot and walked there. It was like a five minutes walk and the parking was $5. But then, a lot of local anglers park at the parking lot right next to it, even though it says "authorized personnel only." They tell me that nothing ever happens to them down there; however, I would still not risk it.

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Thomas Harrison At that time, I was pretty new in the Bluefish (_Pomatomus saltatrix_) scenario. Thus, I was using Fluorocarbon with a Zoom Fluke for different Species of fish. It just so happened that the Bluefish were around that day. Hah. Nowadays, I would go there with braided line and a diamond jig for the Cocktail Blues, Thomas. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@MrBertWayne]

What bait lures did you use?

[@melonbarmonster]

When blues around just switch to leader and silver jig or spoon

[@jorgemercado3152]

Where is that park

[@pedrocruzechevarria1859]

what's the driving directions to that location from Philly?

[@connordilworth64]

Take I-76 east across the Walt whitman bridge all the way until it turns into NJ-42 south, stay on nj-42 south and take it all the way to the Atlantic City Expressway (toll road) East all the way to Atlantic City. The spot is in atlantic city, look on google maps, the road on that bridge he is next to is called Brigantine Boulevard. Also right next to Gordon Ramsay Steak and Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City. Also, alternatively, if you live more center city or north, take the ben Franklin Bridge to nj which will bring you on i-676 south, and then take that to i-76 east, then NJ-42 south, and etc.

[@devilkicln]

If I'm planning on landing that thing by lifting it up, I would go with 30lb test at least. 12 is too low and chances of losing the fish is a lot higher.

[@extremephillyfishing]

devilkicln As I have mentioned in the video, the cost of changing to a lighter rod is the fact that the chances of losing the fish are higher. I would still go with 12lbs Fluorocarbon, though (but that's just my personal preference). If I were really serious about landing the fish, though, I would have a net with me. Heh. There is a little rocky place to the left of where I was fishing where you can actually net the fish. Tight lines!

[@giovannilugo8792]

What’s the location exact location?

[@mannygra8843]

what type of bait were you using man ?

[@extremephillyfishing]

Many Granados I was using a 3/8 oz. jighead with Zoom Flukes. I bought the Zoom Flukes in White Pearl and Bubblegum color, and I like to dye the White Pearl myself. That's why you see a light green and a chartreuse one in the video -- those were "homemade."

What brand is that noodle rod?

[@MC-mn3nd]

what rod do you use?

[@extremephillyfishing]

+MC In this video, I was using a Cortland Endurance noodle rod. Though, nowadays, I use a 8 feet Tsunami Trophy series Medium-Heavy rod for Bluefish (_Pomatomus saltatrix_). Tight lines and fish on, MC!

[@MC-mn3nd]

+Extreme Philly Fishing ty man!!!

[@l.i.archer5379]

I see you're wrapping the line around your hand before lifting the fish out of the water. You're likely to cut your hand that way if the fish suddenly takes off and pulls the line through your hand. I grab the spool instead to prevent the line from going out while lifting fish.

[@ojyakimo]

+L.I. Archer He is using a super light rod. Im pretty sure he is doing this to keep some tension off of the rod. these fish are under 5lbs. probably little harm would come to your hand on these fish. Plus the line would break first.

[@l.i.archer5379]

Please don't comment if you have no idea what you're talking about. The line is not going to break before it cuts, especially if your skin is wet. It also doesn't matter if it's mono or braid. You're going to get cut. Bluefish are a hard fighting fish and a 5-pounder will do some damage if it decides to take off. I've caught smaller ones than that and I would never wrap line around my hand, which is why I said he should grab the spool to stop the line from going out when he yanks the fish up out of the water.

[@ojyakimo]

My apologies internet king. I bask in your awesome glory. All hail he who's hands cannot withstand 12lb fluorocarbon.

Whats the location ?

[@kev_gaming_fps611]

what are the best bait for bluefishing

[@extremephillyfishing]

+Kevin Chhoeut That's a very complex question. I don't think that there is a "best bait" for Bluefish, and as a Multi-Species angler I would go with both live bait and lures! However, if you are planning on saving a couple bucks on the bait, then I would recommend metallic & resistant lures, so that you don't have to replace them every time a Bluefish crushes your bait! Personally, I like to use Zoom Flukes. Tight lines!

[@carlosmojica2821]

Yes there is free parking there theres a parking lot right behind where he is fishing at and its for the public i fish there almost every day

[@extremephillyfishing]

There is a parking lot there that is a little bit controversial, rygamer. Signs say that it is for Harrah's Employees only; however, all anglers park there without a problem. So, I would say -- you park at your own risk. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
