Tuna
While not as common as other species, Tuna can be found offshore from Cobb Island during certain times of the year. These pelagic predators follow baitfish migrations, so keeping an eye on reports of where the schools are located is critical. The best time to target Tuna here is typically late summer and early fall when the water temperatures are warmer. Trolling with lures or live bait is a common tactic. Be prepared for long runs and a serious fight, as Tuna are incredibly powerful fish. A practical tip: Check the marine forecast before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly offshore. Also, ensure your boat is equipped with the necessary safety equipment and that you have a reliable way to communicate with the shore. The Tuna fishery in the Mid-Atlantic can be highly regulated, so be sure to check the current regulations before your trip.
