Seasonal Activity Chart

Tuna
Venturing offshore from Huntington, NY, can put you in the running for some impressive tuna, particularly during the warmer months. The tuna fishery here is driven by the movement of warm Gulf Stream waters closer to Long Island. Bluefin and yellowfin are the primary targets, and the season typically peaks in late summer and early fall. Chunking with butterfish or trolling skirted lures are popular methods. Finding temperature breaks and areas with high bait concentrations is crucial. Many anglers head south towards the canyons. Remember that tuna fishing is heavily regulated, so be sure to check the current regulations for size limits and gear restrictions. A practical tip: monitor sea surface temperature charts closely to locate areas of temperature breaks, which often hold concentrations of tuna. The waters off Long Island can be unpredictable, so always check the marine forecast before heading out.
