Tuna Tactics 101

When it comes to hooking up with Cape Cod Bluefin, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves. We'll likely start the day by trolling spreader bars or daisy chains to cover some ground and locate the fish. Once we've found a promising area, we might switch it up to chunking - that's when we'll toss out bits of butterfish or herring to create a chum slick and bring the tuna to us. If the bite is really on, we might even break out the kite rig to present live baits on the surface. It's all about reading the conditions and adapting our strategy to what's working. Don't sweat it if you're new to this - our crew will walk you through every step, from baiting up to fighting the fish. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the rush of watching a 500-pound tuna crash a bait on the surface. It's the kind of heart-pounding action that keeps anglers coming back year after year.

Target Species: Bluefin Tuna

Alright, let's talk about the star of the show - the mighty Bluefin Tuna. These aren't your run-of-the-mill fish; we're talking about apex predators that can grow to the size of a small car. Cape Cod is world-renowned for its Bluefin fishery, and for good reason. These fish migrate through our waters from spring through fall, with the peak season typically running from July to October. What makes Bluefin so special? For starters, they're one of the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of bursts up to 40 mph. They're also warm-blooded, which means they can regulate their body temperature to dive deep and hunt in colder waters. This adaptability makes them incredibly strong fighters - hooking up with a Bluefin is like trying to stop a freight train with a fishing rod.

Size-wise, we're usually targeting fish in the 100-300 pound range, but don't be surprised if we hook into a true giant pushing 800 pounds or more. The bite can vary day to day - sometimes they're feeding on the surface, other times we need to drop baits down deep. That's where our experience comes in handy. We know how to read the signs and put you on the fish. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the feeling of that first run when a Bluefin realizes it's hooked. It's the kind of adrenaline rush that'll have you grinning for days. Whether you're looking to tick a bucket list item or just want to experience the raw power of these incredible fish, our Cape Cod Bluefin trips deliver the goods.
