Using live bait usually results in more and bigger fish.  This rings true no matter what species of fish you are after-from fluke to giant bluefin tuna. Problem is that catching and keeping quality bait alive and frisky is often the greatest challenge to overcome.  Sometimes finding the pogies is harder than finding the tuna! …

Catching Bait
October 11, 2011

A lot of effort goes into catching a tuna.  Especially when you are just starting out. Even though we have caught numerous tuna in the 50-170 pound range, and one tuna over 670 pounds, I’d say we are still in the “starting out” phase-especially compared to some of the top tuna veterans in the Cape …

 Click here for the latest Cape Cod tuna fishing report It seems like the tuna bite is starting to turn on in the waters around Cape Cod. From what I’m hearing the bite off Chatham is nothing short of stellar, and quite possibly the best it has been in  years.  This news is not all …

September 28, 2011

Hi Folks! If you are just starting out in the fishing world, then learning a few knots is critical.  I’d say I tie around a dozen knots each time I go fishing (depending on how many bluefish are around.)  Often I’m tying these knots at night in a pitching boat.  The ability to twist up …

September 22, 2011

This is going to be a short post, because I don’t want to sound repetitive.  Also, I’m starving and about to eat dinner! Anyways, we were able to squeeze in a giant tuna trip yesterday.   I went straight from a Cape Cod striped bass fishing adventure into a late night pogie catching and all day …

Giant Tuna, Sharks and Plenty of Pogies
September 16, 2011

The past day and a half has been nuts! It all began with a bluefish surfcasting tuna bait run Wednesday evening.  We’re pretty sure we’ve found a spot down Cape that will consistently produce small bluefish from shore-which is a rarity.  The spot offers easy access to a deep, dredged out channel that is currently …

Shark!
September 13, 2011

Aside from inclement weather, catching, transporting and storing fresh live bait was the most challenging giant tuna hurdle for us last season.  I’m happy to say that so far this fall, the news on the live bait front is much more encouraging. This past weekend Mazzola and I brought the Miss Loretta down Cape to …

How’s it going?  Did you survive the storm? Thankfully Irene lost some steam before hitting Cape Cod, but she still did pack a punch with some serious wind and waves.  I hope all you ladies and gents are OK, and didn’t suffer too much damage to your property. I heard there are some serious power …
