More Blues on the Fly

Fished with Paul and Dave in the bay. Paul and Dave both caught blues from 10-18 pounds on the fly as well as on spinning rods. The current 20 pound tippet fly rod record is just under 17 pounds. Dave released a bluefish on the fly that was around 18 pounds. Did we release a world record? Most likely yes. Pro Tip: Many times not getting bites on the fly has nothing to do with the fly or the color. The retrieve frequently is more important than the fly. Try moving the fly assertively. In other words, move it like you mean it. Lackluster or halfhearted retrieves rarely catch fish in a saltwater situation.
