Here is a video of a Bluefin Tuna being unloaded which was caught onboard High Hook this Fall in Massachusetts bay. I was fishing live whiting in a chum line for only about 30 minutes before I hooked up. I was fishing alone that day and had to call someone over to jump on the boat once i realized the size of it.

We had the kite bait in the water for maybe 10 minutes before hooking into the giant last year which both of them fought on stand up gear. This year, after catching a few blue sharks, we had a Tuna take the balloon bait around noon time. It took about 30 minutes for Luke and Ryan Stevens to reel it in. The fish was a little under 300lbs. One for the truck.

We managed to catch around 10 fish with most of them being keepers. The fishing had slowed down a bit but it should pick up again with the commercial season ending. Posted in: Boat Log | No Comments » Here is some quick footage of one of the keepers we caught last week. This one measured 81 inches and weighed around 300 pounds. The fish hit a pogie off of the kite during an afternoon bite on the southern edge of Peaked Hill sandbar.

All together we caught around 6 fish and four of them were around 37-38 inchers. Below are some pictures of the fish we caught.

The mackerel fishing was real slow. The only real way to get them was to spot them on the surface and drive right over them and get the lines full. We did that for about 30 minutes until we had the live well full. The Striped Bass bite was a little slow but we still managed around 10 keepers or so. I don’t plan on the Mackerel being here much longer as we might have to start chunk fishing or using live pogies. Posted in: Boat Log | No Comments » On Thursday we landed a nice 300 pound Bluefin which we caught on a live Mackerel. We hooked the fish in the afternoon between the Southwest corner and Peaked Hill sand bar in about 180 feet of water. The fish are slowly making there way up to the corner  Tight with a 300 pound 83 inch tuna  300 pound Tuna on the deck of the High Hook Posted in: Boat Log | 2 Comments » The Tuna have not really shown up at Stellwagen Bank yet this year. I have marked a few fish and seen a couple crash but that’s about it. Right now we are fishing down around Nauset and further to the South. After having a few fish miss the hook the day before we finally managed to hook one on Friday afternoon. The fish was 77 inches and weighed around 250lbs. I have been seeing some fish moving North around the Highlands area on the back side of the cape. It should be soon when those fish make it to the Bank. There is a ton of life out there with whales and seals everywhere feeding on the sand eels. Also, about ten minutes after we bled and gutted the tuna we had around an 18 foot Great White come up to the boat and do a circle around us. A little sketchy..  Fish On   
Posted in: Boat Log | No Comments » We had a great day of fishing on Saturday during a Striped Bass trip where we caught around 25 keepers. The Mackerel were real easy to get right off of Gurnet Point. After about 20 minutes of fishing we filled up the livewell. Most the Striped Bass were in the low 30′s but towards the end of the trip we found some bigger fish. We were mainly using live Mackerel but had no problem fishing the dead ones as well. The last two fish we caught were around 30 pounds and a nice 35 pounder.  Charlie Sovik and his son with a 35 pound Striped Bass taken out of Duxbury Bay Posted in: Boat Log | 1 Comment » |
