Tuna

While Sandy Point, Virginia, isn't the first place that comes to mind for Tuna fishing, it does offer access to offshore waters where these pelagic giants can be found. Targeting Tuna here requires a significant boat trip, venturing well into the Atlantic Ocean. The best time to target Tuna is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the fish migrate closer to shore. Trolling with lures or live bait is a common technique. Be prepared for long days on the water and potentially rough conditions. A crucial local tip: monitor sea surface temperature charts and look for temperature breaks, as Tuna often congregate in these areas. The local Tuna fishery is primarily focused on Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, with some Bigeye Tuna also present. Remember to check current regulations regarding size and possession limits, as these can change frequently.
