April 29, 2021 Cue the eerie music or maybe “Hallelujah!” – “They’re here!!”  It’s a welcome sight for many anglers working the coastal inlets as bluefish have arrived and by the social media posts they are biting on plugs and metals.  Some of the fish have been close to 10 pounds, so now is the time to hit the jetties.  I heard of bluefish arriving from Manasquan Inlet, Barnegat Inlet, Brigantine, and south almost around the same time in the last 24 hours.  Speaking of the jetties, anglers, have only 2 days left to get a few keeper blackfish as the season officially closes ...
