Tuna
Heading offshore from Eagle Bay, NY, in pursuit of tuna offers an exciting deep-sea fishing experience. The waters off Long Island Sound can hold various tuna species, including Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Albacore, depending on the season and water conditions. The peak season typically runs from late summer through fall when these migratory fish move into the area following baitfish schools. Trolling with lures or live bait is a common technique, focusing on areas where temperature breaks and currents converge. Locating schools of baitfish is crucial, as tuna are often found nearby. A sturdy boat equipped with reliable electronics is essential, as trips can involve long runs offshore. A local tip: pay close attention to sea surface temperature charts and look for areas where warmer water meets cooler water, as these temperature breaks often hold concentrations of bait and tuna. Also, consider hiring a local charter captain who has experience fishing for tuna in the area, as they can provide valuable insights into the current conditions and fishing techniques. Be sure to check all regulations regarding size limits, gear restrictions, and reporting requirements before heading out.
