Tuna
While Coltons Point isn't the first place that comes to mind for Tuna fishing, offshore trips from this location can put you within striking distance of these pelagic giants. The key is to monitor water temperatures and currents, as Tuna follow warm water and bait concentrations. The late summer and early fall months offer the best opportunities, as Tuna migrate closer to the coast. Consider chartering a boat from one of the local marinas, as they have the knowledge and equipment necessary to target these fish effectively. Trolling offshore with lures or rigged baits is a common tactic. A practical tip: pay attention to where the local charter captains are fishing and what techniques they are using. The Tuna fishery in this region can be highly variable, so adaptability is crucial.
