I ran all over Newport yesterday AM before moving East almost all the way to Cuttyhunk and then back. In close one way, out deeper the other. Desolation. No tuna, no bait. Just a 4 pound bonito caught blind casting at a weedline/color break.

It's probably just the high pressure pushing the bait down, but we'll have to see.

As for your original question of when, it depends what species. If you're just talking about hardtails in general anywhere from mid-June up until around Thanksgiving. Primetime, depending on species, is August and September.
