Cape Cod Tuna Fishing at its best (10/10/2007)
[Cape Cod,MA] We have experienced great tuna fishing off Chatham this season. Most charters catching 3-6 tuna in the 80lb. class. On our last trip we got lucky and caught a 275lb. fish as well as 3 other tuna on our trip.
Big Bass on light tackle (9/01/2007)
[Cape Cod,MA] We lit it up Friday catching large stripers on spinning gear. One of the fish measured in at just under 47" caught on 15lb. test. Just because the kids are going back to school it doesn't mean the good fishing is over, it's just getting going...
Bluefin bite (6/25/2007)
[Cape Cod,MA] The tuna fishing has been hot and heavy!!! The Whale activity and Tuna bite has been very steady considering it's only the middle of June.
Stripers are in!!! (5/29/2007)
[Cape Cod,MA] Sunday mornings trip started out with a bang we traveled out of Bass River on a six hour trip. After 20 minutes of steaming we put the lines out and within minutes had a 36" striper on board. The trip just kept getting better from there.
Early season Cod Trip (4/04/2007)
