Looks like the bluefins may be moving inshore again this year. Making my rounds for my weekly reports today I had several reports of big bluefins sighted chasing bait off both Brenton Reef and watch Hill. They were chasing small bluefish. Given the bait they are chasing I would say that theese are NOT the small fish that inveaded RI waters last year, but much bigger fish. It takes at least a 100 pounder to swallow a three or five pound bluefish, so I wouldn't recommend thorwing lures off your bass rods at them (unless you don't like the rod & reel). My offer of $700 a day for close in bluefin fishing for S-B memebers still stands, if anyone is interested.
