Tuna

Targeting tuna off the coast of Norwalk, Connecticut, is an exciting offshore adventure that peaks from late summer into the fall. The waters south of Long Island Sound can hold bluefin and yellowfin tuna as they migrate through. Success requires monitoring water temperatures and locating areas with abundant baitfish, like schools of sand eels or bunker. Chartering a boat with experienced captains familiar with the local tuna grounds is highly recommended, as they'll have the necessary equipment and knowledge to find the fish. Trolling with spreader bars or chunking with cut bait are effective techniques. Remember to check the latest regulations regarding size and bag limits, as these can change frequently. The Norwalk Islands provide some protection from wind, but be prepared for potentially rough seas further offshore.
