Bluefish
If bluefish blitzes are on your mind, Providence offers some exciting opportunities. The key here is understanding the movement of baitfish within Narragansett Bay and its tributaries. Bluefish will follow schools of menhaden and other forage fish, making areas near the Seekonk River and the Providence River a good place to start. Peak season is late summer and early fall when these baitfish are most abundant. A practical tip is to keep an eye on local fishing reports for information on bait concentrations. Also, be prepared to adjust your presentation based on water clarity; on cloudy days or in murky water, brighter lures or bait often work best. Remember that bluefish are aggressive feeders and can be found at various depths depending on water temperature and current. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to find what triggers a strike. The bluefish population around Providence is known for its aggressive nature, providing thrilling battles for anglers of all skill levels.
