Fishermen are heading offshore, south of the Vineyard, looking for the bluefin bite.

The bluefin tuna bite south of Martha's Vineyard has a lot of fishermen talking. Last Saturday, by one account, there were upward of 200 fishing boats in the area. Plentiful bait seems to be holding tuna in the 60-90 pound range.

Most of the action is centered about 20-30 miles south of the Vineyard. Andy Nabreski of On The Water magazine was out there on Sunday, and he joins us for this week's Fishing News to give us a feel for the fishing and explain the trolling strategy.

Also, we round up the local inshore action (still keeping an eye out for bonito...). It's all in the conversation below - give it a listen.
