You know things are beginning to heat up when the mackerel have arrived in Cape Cod Bay. Because when the bait fish show up everything else soon follows. There are many schools of mackerel in and around Cape Cod Bay now
Bluefin tuna are in the area a little early this year. For the first few weeks of July they were all over Massachusetts Bay and all around Stellwagen bank. So far their the Tuna have been eating mostly sand eels but now we are starting to see Peanut bunker in large numbers too. This past week it seems to have slowed down a little but I’m sure it is a temporary stituation. The best fishing is still to come. Many boats have been having good luck trolling squid daisy chains and Tuna teaser chains as well as spreader bars early morning but when the small ones are up top people have also been having success with light tackle. If you have a decent spinning rod, load it up with 65lb powerpro braid and have a green striped deadly dick ready to go at all times. I’m headed out to Stellwagen this Thursday morning early to see what I can drag up.
On Tuesday June 26 at 5:30pm we headed over to Browns Bank to do some Striper fishing. I have been having a blast catching schoolies in the 22 to 27inch range there for the past few weeks trolling green shad niner rigs on lead core line down the bank in about 30ft of water.
