Yup, fluoro will give you a measurable edge when fishing for the tunoids (albies, bones, yellowfin and bluefin and albacore). I actually tested the difference on a daytime charter during an October albie blitz and a few offshore trips. Fluoro outperformed clear mono by something like 2:1.
I also think that fluoro is better than mono for certain bottomfishing applications. Fluke and blackfish come to mind. I can't explain why (you're dropping your offering right on its head?).
As far as bluefish go, fluoro is obviously a waste. But there's always a spool in my plugbag for the bass at night, not that I am terribly religious about using it over plain mono leader.
