Go at Night
Researchers and anglers have studied tuna behavior for a better idea of when these fish are easiest to catch. The coveted Yellowfin Tuna typically follow a diel pattern for depth distribution. That means these fish will spend their time in mixed and surface layers at night while heading down to the depths during the daylight hours. So while you won’t see much action, you will get a better fishing experience if you go at night. Once the daylight begins to fade, bait heads to the surface and the predators, like tuna, follow.
