>>883054do you use a wire leader? I was in cape cod over the summer and we caught a lot of blues. they fought harder than the stripers truthfully. kept a few over the stay for the table and it wasnt as bad as what the locals said it would taste like. ikejime, bleeding and iced down worked to make the fish much more edible.
>>883071not saying spoons or grubs wont work because ive caught opaleye on gotcha type flies but..they are algae feeders. youd have better luck with bait. frozen green peas, chopped spinach and algae off the rocks. kelp bugs (looks similar to a stonefly nymph) work also for opaleye which actually isnt really a perch.
