Tuna
Tuna fishing from Port Crane involves a significant journey to the offshore waters of the Atlantic. New York offers access to some incredible tuna fishing, particularly for Bluefin and Yellowfin. Summer and fall are the peak seasons when these pelagic giants are within striking distance. Chunking with butterfish or live bait fishing are popular techniques. Be prepared for long days and challenging conditions, as these fish are powerful and require specialized tackle. Charter boats are highly recommended for tuna fishing, as they possess the necessary equipment, experience, and knowledge of the fishing grounds. Before heading out, check the latest regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change frequently. Also, pay close attention to sea surface temperatures and chlorophyll levels, as these factors influence tuna distribution. Remember, responsible fishing practices are crucial to maintaining this valuable resource.
