Bluefish
If you're looking for some hard-fighting bluefish, Point Judith, Rhode Island, is a fantastic place to target them. The waters around Point Judith, including the breachways and the open ocean, are prime bluefish territory, especially during the late summer and fall as they migrate through the area. These blues are often chasing schools of menhaden and other baitfish, making surface plugs and poppers extremely effective. For boat anglers, look for areas with strong currents and structure, like around the Point Judith Lighthouse or near the rocky coastline. Surfcasters can find success along the beaches and rocky points, particularly during dawn and dusk. A local tip: keep an eye out for diving birds, as they often indicate where bluefish are feeding actively. Be prepared for some serious fights; these Rhode Island blues are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs.
