Captain Bob Hovey Good afternoon MFCC. This is captain Bob Hovey providing you with a late October tuna fishing update. It seems there are a few tunas just about everywhere right now. From Cape Cod to Jeffrey’s I think you’ll have a good chance as long as the weather cooperates.​We’ve had multiple bites where we’ve been …
Before tropical storm Joaquin showed up, the tuna bite off Cape Cod was very good. On certain days in the past 2 weeks I have had up to 10 bites during a single trip. I did have one day when we did not get a bite, but more often than not we have put bends …
Hello MFCC crowd! This is Captain Bob Hovey from “Troll Naked” apparel and charters. I run a 26′ Sea Vee with a 300 Verado on the back, and I want to give you guys my most recent tuna report.I was finally able to get out the day after a very hard northeast blow this past …
On Monday we left at 8am which is later than our usual 5am departure time for tuna trips. The wind had blown hard from the north during the days leading up to this trip, and I wanted to allow the seas some time to lay down.​Exiting the bay was quite the challenge. We encountered a …
The morning began at 4:30AM just before sun break. The fish the few days prior seemed to be working south and I had a pretty good number on where they might be. However I expected there to be quite a few boats chasing these fish.It wasn’t long before we started seeing fish jumping here and …
The weather was calling for winds of 10-15 mph with gusts of up to 25. So this would not be a flat calm trip, but do-able in my boat. This was a special trip because I was fishing with my father who had just flown in. Upon arrival at the fishing grounds we quickly found whales …
This trip began in the dark at 4am with my good friend Tyler. I was chomping at the bit because I had lost a fish of 700-800 pounds a few days prior to this trip. On top of that I had marked quite a few giants on the sonar.So we started heading east when I …
The morning began with my Dad and I launching my 26 foot Sea Vee. We started running out and began marking bait and were able to put a few macks in the live well.Then we headed east as the fog got heavier and heavier. By the time we got to our fishing spot visibility was …
Last week Jason Mazzola, Andrew Massard and I fished for bluefin tuna and ended up stumbling upon a ton of whales, bait and dolphins. You can read about the experience in this fishing report. MFCC members can also watch a video recap of the excursion by clicking below. In this 10 minute long video report …
After trying to live bait a giant tuna earlier in the week, my friend Jason and I decided to mix things up, and fish a completely different area using different techniques. The change was part in due to a last minute report we received from friend and MFCC member Andrew Massard (author of Cape Cod …
Apparently that first humpback was just the tip of the iceberg, because more whales were now surfacing all around us. The sonar was lit up with the bait and the birds were going nuts. We began our troll, careful to avoid the whales. Fortunately for us the life continued for hundreds of yards, perhaps even …
I am no professional tuna fisherman, but I do get a bit excited when I hear about 800lb fish being caught! That was all I needed to hear this past Monday to get me out of bed at 3AM. By 3:05AM I was wide awake and ready to rock and roll. For the first time …
