I don't know of any Tuna charters local to here but as the summer comes along there will definitely be Striped Bass charters

I'm sure there are some Tuna charters but I don't know em

Depends on the tuna you are chasing. You can find overnight charters that will take you offshore for larger fish, but many people fish the long island sound for the false albacore tuna, a smaller fish, but they rove the sound in schools through the summer into the fall ... huge feeding frenzies erupt:

But up here in the sound the top game fish is the striped bass, they get big, fight hard and bite easilly. second to that are the Bluefish which are violent feeders as well.
