Enjoy an exciting big game fishing adventure on Cape Cod with IGFA certified Capt. Jack.

From early summer through fall, these school and  giant bluefin tuna can be found in waters well within 60 miles of Cape Cod. In the early part of the season you will troll our custom Offshore Pursuits squid bars and Tuna Trains amongst the feeding whales and porpoise east of Chatham. After the tuna settle in the Fall we drift and chum with a variety of baits. The Maverick will also be offering verical jigging for school tuna on the days when they are down and won't come up for a trolled rig.

Enjoy the benefits of our extensive experience and knowledge pursuing this elusive and hard-fighting game fish. The school bluefin tuna run from 30# to 150# with the norm around 60 to 90#. Giant bluefin can run in excess of 1000 pounds and are some of the hardest fighting fish in the world.

Cape Cod Fishing Tips & Techniques

Medium Bluefin Tuna

Standup Conventional and Spin - We will step offshore a few miles to get away from the bluefish and into deeper water. All the while we look for birds working on schools of bait that have been pushed to the surface by feeding Tuna. Trolling our custom Offshore Pursuits squid bars, rigged ballyhoo, and custom lures on standup rods provides one of fishing’s greatest thrills and challenges.

Giant Bluefin Tuna and Shark

Fighting Chair or Fixed Rod Holder - The Maverick has been very successful during June, July, and August trolling custom squid rigs, brined mackerel bars, and rigged ballyhoo. As new fall fish migrate in from offshore we will drift, chum and place sewn or live baits at different depths in the water column. During certain conditions we will drift with live lined bluefish for bait.

Both of the above techniques are used for Shark fishing. When anglers hook up they can fight the fish from a fixed transom rod holder or a custom fighting chair. If you would like more detail about our custom rigs or techniques please contact Captain Jack.
