if u luv bluefish, than u should wait till the fronts move in. it'll be bluefish mania

GDM; You can fish for anything but Shark in Delray and Atlantic dunes park. You need to check about time restrictions and you can't chum in either location.

GDM; Sorry Dude Iv'e never fished it so I have no clue. The only reason I'm aware of the rules is I have been watching to see when they actually list the Sharking ban.

gdm... I too am from NY and spent many o day fishing for blues.. hence my screen name.... I think you are better off going a few miles North to Boynton... If you ever want "tips/techniques" let me know.. I am always game to help out a fellow NY'er.

I hit most of the beaches between Anchor Park and Lake Worth, been spotty at best. I would agree the further north the better it can be.
I like to keep it simple, mostly using silver or gold spoons, but just about anything will work.
West wind, flat surf I've been using a fly on my spinning rod (daybreak)decent results.

Your fluke and flounder rods, should be fine!!!! Unless you want to play with poon.. Just to let you know... I run with a 2500 Shimano Saros, spooled with 10lb Suffix, 7 foot or 6.5 medium and have had no problems... From the beach that is.
