Tuna
Targeting tuna near Prudence Island, Rhode Island, means venturing into the waters of Block Island Sound and the Atlantic. While not as widely known as other tuna hotspots, this area can produce excellent fishing, especially for bluefin tuna during their seasonal migrations. The key is to locate areas where tuna are actively feeding on schools of baitfish. Keep an eye out for bird activity and surface disturbances that indicate the presence of tuna. Trolling with spreader bars or casting with poppers and stickbaits can be effective techniques. Remember to adjust your depth with temperature and current. Fall is typically the peak season as tuna follow bait migrations south. A crucial tip for fishing around Prudence Island is to monitor local fishing reports for recent tuna sightings and preferred depths. Also, be aware of the strong currents in this area and ensure your boat is properly equipped for offshore fishing.
