I went beach fishing after work a couple weeks ago at south 8th street in Cocoa Beach. I was using frozen mullet on a circle hook and a unique weight that you can see in the top of the picture. I got the weight from a local bait shop where they make them (at least that's what they told me).  I had no bites and was about to leave when I gave the line some slack and then felt a bite. After a nice fight I reeled in a nice Bluefish. Its was pretty hard to unhook this dude in the dark I was just waiting for him to chomp down on my thumb. These things have some serious teeth, and are very aggressive


From Wiki: "Bluefish are found off Florida in the winter months. By April, they have disappeared, heading north. By June, they may be found off Massachusetts; in years of high abundance, stragglers may be found as far north as Nova Scotia. By October, they leave New England waters, heading south. They are also present in the Gulf of Mexico throughout the year."
