We usually found the smaller tuna anywhere from 1 mi ou of sakonnet out to the claw and points south. Most of the fish were 30-60lbs. Usually the fish were breaking and caught by drifting into the schools...it suckled when the fish were in tight to Sakonnet because alot of knuckleheads would drive right into the fish and pu them down. Too much boat pressure around there. Tuna are often much more skiddish than blues, but there are exceptions. I use a 12 wt and do fine, a 70 lber can make you think you are under gunned in the first run or two! I haven't seen fish that small in a few years though...I haven't been targeting the tuna down there.
