Tuna Fishing off of Nantucket is great!
June is a time when we focus our energy and efforts on Striped Bass. This is the time of year when we love stalking “fresh” Striped Bass in the shallows and when we eagerly await the squid to fill in the offshore rips.
Early in the season we have been given a treat with Tuna filling in off of Chatham and East of Nantucket. Most of the Bluefin Tuna East of the island are BIG! many anglers are talking about catching multiple Giant Tuna fish in the 80-90 inch range. This week we have had LOTS of weather, so only those with strong boats and backs are headed out there. Most anglers are using artificial squid rigs although a bunch are also deep dropping mackerel for the Tuna. The fish are being caught between The BB and the BC with a large group at the Sword.
If you love Tuna fishing, go get out on the water and find a way to not only wet a line, but tighten a line…
