Last year by this time, they seemed to be everywhere. LARGE blues too! This year, I have only gotten a couple and they were both small, only a step larger than snappers. On the plus side, I've caught more stripers this year. Not a bad trade off, but I still like the blues for a workout.
Down here on Long Island's north shore I've been getting between 20 and 40 small blues a night. My brother and I wade about a 1/4 of a mile off shore at low tide. I've been getting small bass and blues every low tide for over a month but the twinky blues, one to two pounds, have showed up for the last four nights. Their feeding on small sand eels and they won't leave. If I'm lucky they will head up your way.
They are fun to catch but I've got more cuts and scrapes on my hands then I can stand.
