Tuna
While Port Allegany is inland, Pennsylvania anglers can target Tuna with a significant drive to the offshore waters of the Atlantic. Tuna fishing off the PA coast, specifically for species like Bluefin and Yellowfin, is a seasonal affair, typically peaking in the summer and fall months. These are offshore excursions, requiring a seaworthy vessel and appropriate safety equipment. Focus your efforts on areas where there's a temperature break or upwelling, as these zones often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, tuna. Trolling with artificial lures or live bait is a common tactic. Local charters are available and can provide invaluable knowledge of current conditions and productive fishing grounds. Given the distance and potential for rough seas, always check the marine forecast before heading out. Also, be aware of the specific regulations and permit requirements for targeting highly migratory species like Tuna, as these can change frequently.
