Tuna country in the South Pacific
American Samoa is the southernmost U.S. territory, and Pago Pago is one of the great tuna ports of the Pacific. Local boats troll the steep island slopes for yellowfin, skipjack, wahoo, mahimahi and blue marlin, and the banks like South Bank hold dogtooth tuna, giant trevally and deep bottomfish.
From shore, people fish the reef edges, points and bays for trevally (malauli) and jacks, especially at dawn and dusk.
Many villages manage their own marine areas, and some are closed to fishing. Fagatele Bay, part of the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, is also closed to fishing. Ask the village before you fish its reef, and look for the red areas on the map.
