When you go fishing, it can often be hit or miss. Some days you’ll catch a string of huge fish, other days you’ll catch nothing for hours. There are a lot of factors that play into this: weather, season, location, bait, gear, depth. One of the best ways to catch fish is to find their hidden honey holes. These are secrets that fishermen hold dear. Not many of us want to give up our fishing spot that consistently produces fish. But we’re going to do just that! Here we will list the best places for tuna fishing. Those huge behemoths can be tough to catch, and even once you get one hooked on they can take hours to reel in. You can increase your luck on your next tuna fishing expedition by hitting up these top tuna towns.

San Diego, California
In Marlin Magazine, one skipper from this seaside town remarked that on his trips they usually catch anywhere from 5-15 tuna over 300lbs! His trips take fishermen into Mexican waters for a week to nearly a month. His secret spots include the Luisitania Bank, about 600 miles from San Diego. They tend to use live sardines, mackerel, skipjack, and flying fish as bait. Our Southern California and Baja Fishing Chart (88F) offers 444 plots for rocks, banks, reefs, fishing and diving. It’s a great chart for offshore fishing.

North Carolina
The Atlantic Ocean is known to produce good sized yellowfin tuna. In North Carolina, the best times for tuna fishing are December through April. You’ll need to fish at around 120 feet depth. We have a few charts for offshore fishing in North Carolina including 95F Charleston to Cape Lookout Fishing, and 99F North Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina Fishing Chart.

Venice, Lousiana
The Gulf of Mexico produces some huge yellowfin tuna, making it a great area for tuna fishing. Around this area in Louisiana, there are plenty of deepwater oil rigs where yellowfin like to hang out. Our nautical chart 04 gives a great view of the entire Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts
The New England area is known for their deep sea fishing. Giant bluefin are found off the coast of this Massachusetts town. One area, Stellwagen Bank, is a good spot to check out for great bluefin tuna fishing. Our nautical chart 164F is THE chart for the offshore fisherman in the New England area. There are tons of fishing spots located on this chart.
