Bluefish:

Bluefish take many things but prefer menhaden, sardines, jacks, weakfish, anchovies, shrimp and squid. Bluefish tend to swim in schools of similarly-sized fish so when you catch one there will likely be others. Bluefish eagerly take fresh baits. Nylon-haired jig are effective especially with a strip of shiny fish on the hook. Top-water popping lures are very effective. Fast retrieve , shiny spoons or bright-colored plugs, jigs, and fluorescent colored tube lures are all effective. Try:
a Got-Cha Lure if you have not before.
