Catching a tuna in Animal Crossing: New Horizons isn't too hard once you know the tricks! First, tunas are only available during certain months: November through April in the Northern Hemisphere and May through October in the Southern Hemisphere. They can only be caught off the pier, so don't waste your time fishing anywhere else. You're looking for a huge shadow in the water since tunas are one of the larger fish in the game. Using bait can really help to spawn fish faster, so stock up on it by digging for clams on the beach. Be patient, and keep an eye out for that big shadow!
Pro tip: Always fish with sound! The sound of a big fish nibbling is distinct. Helps a lot with those rarer catches like the tuna. Happy fishing!
