Phenomenal inshore tuna fishing with BFTs to 90 lbs. and Yellowfins up to 65 lbs.

It just flat out does not get any better than our trip today. We fought tuna for almost 6 hours straight with not more than a 10-15 minute break during that period. Two and Three on at a time at times which comprised Yellowfins that were almost as big as the Bluefins. Most of the Bluefins were caught on jigs with 80 lb. leader while the Yellowfin biting hand feeders of butterfish, squid and sardines. The Yellowfins were a bit more of a challenge as they would only bite 30-40 lb. fluorocarbon leaders which resulted in a good number of lost fish and the only option to this is having live bait such as peanut bunker or spot then if makes no difference what lb. test leader you use with live bait. These Yellowfins are all well over 50 lbs. so light leader can be very frustrating plus the BFTs pushing 80-90 lbs. do also eat sardines, butterfish and squid floater lines and any angler that can land a tuna this size on light leader either is very lucky or extremely skillful. That is why we prefer them on jigs with the heavier leader and it still is one heck of a battle on top of the line jigging tackle. Just some great inshore tuna fishing happening right now out of Cape May, NJ.

We are open next week and suggest doing an 12 hour trip departing around 10:30 to 11:00 am and getting back to the dock around 9:00 pm. The afternoon bite is nothing short of fantastic especially on the Yellowfins that seem to show up in big numbers after the boat traffic thins out and can be caught right on the surface on hand feeders while they are boiling on chunks behind the boat. These are special trips we are offering next week along with normal one that depart around 3:00 am to reach the tuna grounds by 4:30-5:00 am.PS:

Contact us for open boat trips coming next week for singles and small parties

I could not believe that there were about 10 Kayakers padding around with fishing poles about 40 miles off the beach on the tuna grounds today. I thought I had seen everything on the inshore tuna grounds but today this was one that I did not expect. Wonder how they would make out if they hooked up one of those 90 lb Bluefins?
