Big Game Fishing in New York

Ideal Conditions:

Ideal conditions include calm seas with low wind speeds, clear weather, moderate temperatures, and ocean currents that concentrate baitfish, typically in late spring through early fall.

Moon Phase:

Big game fishing is often best during the new moon to first quarter phases, when fish feeding activity intensifies, although varied phases can be productive depending on tide and bait presence.

Best Period:

The best seasons range from May through October, with peak tuna season in summer (July to September) and swordfish and sharks more common during late summer and early fall.

License:

Anglers must have a valid New York State Marine Fishing license for personal-use saltwater fishing, and adhere to federal regulations for specific species when applicable.
