If you remember correctly we had extremely warm water in Rhode Island and Block Island sound last August. My records indicate that i caught BlueFin and SkipJack Tuna right in front of Brenton Reef in Newport last year on 8/12 with 76 degree water. I think a warm eddy broke off of the gulf stream and pushed all the way into the RI and MA coast. I also remeber people talking about Tarpon being caught out on Nantucket.....Hopefully this happens again this year. I will be on 65 tomorrow if anyone is heading out. Plan on leaving the dock at 4am and fishing the Bay. Good Luck this weekend everyone!!
