Default Any Bluefish in Mid-bay?

I have a good friend of mine Russ Hudson who owns Chesapeake Classic sporting goods in Cambridge. He said he has never caught a blue. Was wondering if any decent blues are in the area yet. Tight lines everyone and thanks for the replies in advance!

We haven't seen any to speak of; we have caught two nice blues (24 inches) more than a week ago, but nothing since.
This is fishing the area from Ches.Beach to mouth of Choptank.
If you are targeting bluefish, you may have trouble.

Maybe someone else has more productive information for you.

i've had very little fishing experience lately but am pretty sure it was small blues splashing topwater yesterday morning offshore from poplar. but no sign of them on plastic worked deep (which did find striped fish).

also - little fish jumping all over the place up in rivers. not sure if they're all little blues. but i did catch my personal smallest blue on rod and reel the other day. a 4 inch bluefish bit a puppet minnow i was using on the WP.

w/o really paying any more attention than it took to separate his little mouth from a treble hook (needs some clipping), i took him home and put him in our'chesapeake' fish tank. all the while thinking it was an alewife or something. then i looked closer at the extended, matching fins on back and belly and saw it was a bluefish. i think it's what the osprey are eating too but generally in the 6-8" category.

I caught not a single one north of the bridge this year...Although it sure does sound like smaller ones are sifting through top water bait fish in the evenings some times...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I told him it was early for them. I told him about mid August. I think we will try some chumming near the false channel and LTJ in the area. Will let you guys know how I do.
