Seasonal Activity Chart
Tuna
If you're targeting tuna out of Ocean Beach, you're likely heading offshore into the Atlantic. This area provides access to the canyons where pelagic species like bluefin, yellowfin, and albacore congregate. The tuna season here generally runs from summer into fall, with the warmer water temperatures drawing these fish closer to shore. Trolling with spreader bars and skirted lures is a common tactic, but chunking and live-baiting can also be highly effective. Pay close attention to temperature breaks and chlorophyll lines, as these areas often hold concentrations of bait and, subsequently, tuna. A crucial piece of advice: monitor sea surface temperature charts before your trip to pinpoint areas with favorable conditions. The tuna fishery off Long Island is highly regulated, so ensure you have the necessary permits and are aware of size and bag limits.
