Tuna
While Niagara Falls, NY, is a freshwater environment, targeting Tuna would require venturing far offshore into the Atlantic Ocean. Tuna fishing from New York involves traveling several hours by boat to reach the deep-sea fishing grounds. If you're planning a Tuna trip from a port accessible to Niagara Falls, focus on the warmer months, from late summer through early fall, when Tuna are most prevalent in the area. Look for areas with strong currents, temperature breaks, and abundant baitfish. Chartering a boat with an experienced captain is highly recommended, as they will have the necessary equipment and knowledge of the fishing grounds. A local tip is to pay attention to sea surface temperature charts, as Tuna tend to congregate in areas with specific temperature ranges. Another tip is to use a variety of techniques, such as trolling, chunking, and jigging, to find what the Tuna are biting on that day. New York Tuna can range in size from smaller school Bluefin to larger Yellowfin and even the occasional Bigeye, offering a challenging and rewarding fishing experience.
