Tuna
If you're looking to tangle with tuna off the coast of Narragansett, Rhode Island, be prepared for an offshore adventure. Bluefin and yellowfin tuna frequent these waters, drawn by the rich feeding grounds of the Gulf Stream. The peak season is typically late summer into fall, when warmer waters push closer to shore. Trolling is the most common method, using spreader bars, daisy chains, and diving plugs to imitate schools of baitfish. Chunking with butterfish or sardines can also be effective, especially when targeting bluefin. Access to tuna fishing requires a seaworthy vessel and a good understanding of navigation and weather conditions. The port of Galilee provides ample boat ramps and charter services. Be sure to check the latest regulations and size limits, as they can change frequently based on stock assessments.
