Large school of bluefish caught on camera off the coast of Long Island

LONG ISLAND (WABC) -- A drone filming off the coast of Long Island captured a large school of bluefish making its way north.

The fish were seen migrating near Water Mill Thursday.

Bluefish have sharp teeth and are predators to smaller fish. They can be a good sign to people fishing as it means there are likely smaller fish in the area.

However, large groups of bluefish can attract even bigger fish, like sharks.

The video was shared to YouTube by photographer Joanna Steidle.
