Seasonal Activity Chart
Tuna
While Port Byron, NY, isn't your typical tuna destination, anglers willing to venture into the brackish waters influenced by the Great Lakes can find surprising opportunities. Tuna, following baitfish migrations, occasionally push into these unusual zones. Success hinges on understanding seasonal forage patterns. Look for warmer water pockets and areas where smaller baitfish congregate, especially during late summer and early fall. Natural presentations are key – think live bait or lures that mimic the local forage. Be prepared to adjust your depth based on temperature and current; tuna will often hold at specific thermoclines. A local tip: Focus your efforts around the points where tributaries enter the main body of water, as these areas often concentrate bait. Remember, this is an unconventional fishery, so persistence and experimentation are crucial.
