Fishing reports, videos and more.
Jason Mazzola If you own a boat and pursue bluefin tuna, then you know how challenging it can be to keep your boat, tackle and equipment in top-notch condition. For example, I completely missed last year’s Cape Cod tuna fishing season because I was rebuilding my 23 foot SeaCraft center console. However I am pumped to …
Garet Suomala Hello My Fishing Cape Cod! It’s your favorite blogger again, Garet Suomala. This time I have something a little different to share with all of you. So pull right up your favorite chair and enjoy. Today I am going to talk about something I have always wanted to do, but have yet to get it done …
Ryan Collins Did you know that Cape Cod is regarded by many as the best place on Earth to catch bluefin tuna on spinning gear? People literally travel from Asia to Cape Cod each season to target bluefin tuna of up to 400 pounds using spinning gear and topwater lures. If you already fish on Cape …
Ryan Collins Giant bluefin tuna can be extremely fickle creatures when they want to be. Even a 1,000 pound tuna may shy away from a poorly presented live bait.When you finally do get a bite, there is always a chance of the hook popping, equipment malfunctioning, or the fish chaffing off. The “tuna bomb” is …
Nearly all of the giant tuna I have heard about being caught during 2015 have been taken on live mackerel. If you check out this year’s tuna reports then you’ll see what I mean.Last week while tuna fishing we hooked and lost what was most likely a pretty good size tuna, and of course that fish …

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 …
The mackerel bite continued to be stellar. Catching mackerel kept me occupied while we waited for something to happen.

This Cape Cod tuna fishing trip began with a slight hiccup, when the boat engine would not start. However it was a simple fix and after a quick jump start we were good to go. I was fishing with MFCC member Ari Goldschneider on his 22 foot Seahunt center console. By 4:30AM we were departing the …
