Bluefish
If you're chasing bluefish in Rhode Island, Prudence Island offers some fantastic opportunities, especially in the warmer months. The waters surrounding the island, including Narragansett Bay, are known for their aggressive bluefish populations. Look for areas with strong currents and structure, like rocky points and channel edges. These are ambush points where bluefish lie in wait for unsuspecting prey. Keep an eye out for surface blitzes, where bluefish herd baitfish to the surface in a feeding frenzy. When this happens, casting topwater lures can be incredibly exciting. For consistent results, try trolling with spoons or tube lures along the deeper channels. A practical tip: Prudence Island is only accessible by ferry, so plan your trip accordingly and make sure to reserve your spot in advance. The bluefish here are known for their size and fight, so be prepared for a battle!
