flaswimbaiter Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks Tuan for the punker, I didnt even have to paint it. These are about average for our area. My first on a swim/big bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishDr Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Nice looking bluefish! I ran into a couple of them, also on a Punker, during a family trip to Duck Key a couple of Decembers back. I didn't even know there were bluefish down there, so I was surprised when one tagged the Punker dead to rights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facepunch Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Our bluefish up here in maryland don't get much bigger than that because the stripers eat all of the bait fish, so that thing is a toad to me lol. Be careful...they will try to bite you at all cost lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 NJ gets some absolute gorilla bluefish that can really pull some drag. However, the toothy devils have bitten off enough of my surf plugs for me to despise them. They're the #1 reason I don't throw swimbaits in the surf.

flaswimbaiter Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 If I lived up north I would probably make my own big but cheap topwaters for blues and use wire leader. I use 40lbs flouro, but I am not to worried with a swimbait because most saltwater fish cant get their mouth around these baits, I think that is why I kept missing fish that entire morning.

floridaswimb8er Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 These Blues amaze me, I've seen them practically rip themselves in half trying to get a bait or doing so because they slash about when hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
