Tuna
While Pennsylvania might not be the first place that comes to mind for Tuna, anglers willing to venture into the brackish waters near Mineral Point can find surprisingly productive opportunities. Tuna follow baitfish migrations, making late summer and early fall prime time. Focus your efforts where the Monongahela River meets the tidal influences, as these areas often concentrate forage. Water temperature is key; look for areas where cooler, deeper water mixes with the warmer surface layers. Natural presentations, like live or chunked bait, are often most effective. Don't be afraid to adjust your depth frequently, as Tuna will move up and down in the water column based on temperature and current. A local tip: check the tide charts and plan your trip around the outgoing tide, as this often pulls baitfish out of the river and into the waiting Tuna.
