Tuna
While not as consistent as other fisheries, tuna fishing off Ocean Bluff can offer the thrill of a lifetime. Bluefin tuna, in particular, are the prized target. Tuna season typically runs from summer into fall, with peak activity often coinciding with the presence of baitfish schools like mackerel and herring. Locating these bait balls is crucial for finding tuna. A key local tip: Join local fishing forums or connect with charter captains to get up-to-date information on tuna sightings and feeding patterns. Access to tuna grounds requires a capable offshore boat, and Scituate Harbor offers suitable launch facilities. Trolling with lures or live bait is a common tactic. Be prepared for long days on the water and the need for heavy-duty tackle to handle these powerful fish. Remember that strict regulations govern tuna fishing, so be sure to obtain the necessary permits and understand the size and bag limits.
