I havent seen may guys out there fishing for blues,they are all over, for those who want to try saltwater, good to start on blue fish, union beach is a good place to start nice flat lots of fish i spent 3 hours las wendnesday and was taking fish on every 3 cast, got tired, arms hurting I was with my 9weight outfit, I think I could manage with something lighter I would give my arms a rest and still land the fish.
