You might be able to cast from shore and reach them? Well maybe not you Dennis but someone skilled in shore casting..:rotf2:

I need to fish pretty bad i guess. As soon as i read that the thought crossed my mind to head down and do some plugging.

by catch, is it illegal in RI like it is in MA to boat and keep a netted tuna?

Phil, I can't cast more than 25 yards with a stiff wind at my back. With the way my Tuna skills are going, I don't think I could even net them!!! :wall:

Tuna are federally regulated not by individual states, not legal to keep netted tuna...

i realize lobsters have to eat
but the idea of throwing hundred pound TUNA overboard
sure seems like a totally stupid thing to do....

how about throwing 500 lb tuna overboard?

Ask the longliners. They do it all day. 50 metric tons of discards.

This use to happen on an annual basis years back, I remember reports of seeing giants very close to the shore in RI/BI sound in the late late fall. Not this late but given the warmth, it is not all that crazy.

This winter you could have stayed in all year. If I had a dock, I would just get a bubbler and keep her in year round.
