Nivens Bass Slammers Annual Fishing Charter

Scott Nivens and family enjoyed their annual striped bass fishing charters on Tuna Hunter over the past weekend.

Nine years! What a great family tradition, and a pleasure see a family have fun together through the years.
All aboard had a great time.  Striped Bass certainly cooperated, making for great fishing for all.  The smiles and the fish tell the story here.  Stripers were hitting on livies and chunks.  These anglers are skilled at this .. so the bass had little chance once they hooked up.

Striped Bass fishing is the best it has been all year. Don’t let a bit of drizzle deter you – fishing action is strong for striped bass, cod & haddock, and there are lots of bluefin tuna in our area feeding on the wealth of bait on the banks.  Check out our bluefin tuna fishing highlights for a peek at what this fishery entails.   Call 978-407-1351 or email captain@tunahunter.com for the latest openings.

Rubin-Pascal Annual Gloucester Fishing Charter

The annual Rubin-Pascal father-son fishing charter was another highlight for Tuna Hunter captain and crew. This blend of cod & haddock fishing, striped bass fishing charter and bluefin tuna fishing makes for a great long weekend of hard fishing, great food and good friends.

Always a good time, always good fishing and always always we eat and play well when these guys are in town.  As for this year’s fishing, cod was strong, but the bluefin eluded us.  Inshore stripers more tha namde up for it, hitting on livies.  Good action for the entire weekend.

No fear on the tuna, they are here in force, in all sizes.  Tuna Hunter will be fishing this weekend for bluefin, stripers and cod & haddock.  As the tuna action heats up, dates are filling in.  You should be then next one hooked up!

Bubba’s Boys Limits Out on Cod Fishing Charter

Bubba’s Boys had an awesome day aboard Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters, limiting out of cod early in the day and continuing to catch and release hefty cod to 25 pounds throughout the afternoon.

Tuna Hunter put Bubba’s Boys right on the meat, employing norwegian jigs with a mix of clams thrown in. This combination held for the entire day with only minor adjustments needed. An awesome crew, Bubba’s Boys had good arms to fish hard all day long.

Cod Fishing like this makes one want to fish every day!

Cod Slappers of NH on Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters

 
Cod Slappers of NH  ~  Cod & Haddock Fishing on Tuna Hunter!

The Cod Slappers of NH joined Tuna Hunter for  Cod & Haddock Fishing out of Gloucester on Memorial Day weekend.  The weather was not the greatest but as we’ve said before fish don’t care and hit jigs for the most part.  These guys fished hard to put a nice catch together.  And had a blast along the way.  Jigs prevail for cod, as in the past few weeks. 

Cod Slappers of NH – Cod Fishing on Tuna Hunter

Life abounds on Stellwagen and surrounding fishing grounds – this is great for cod, haddock, tuna and whales!  Cod and haddock fishing will hold strong, and bluefin tuna will stay and feed.  Striped bass migrating in will feast and get that much bigger, a better fight for your striped bass fishing.

Kite fishing for bluefin tuna will begin soon, as schools of bluefin move in hungry and eager for action.

Cod Fishing ~ The Big Dogs from Moriah

The Big Dogs from Moriah – Cod Fishing on Tuna Hunter!

The Big Dogs from Moriah took in some Gloucester Cod & Haddock Fishing on Saturday aboard Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters.

Though a bit foggy above the surface underneath the fish paid no mind. Cod fishing was prime all morning, with cod to 15 and 20 pounds. The cod were hitting on jigs and teasers for the most part. Clams produced some fish in the AM, but jigs ruled.

n the afternoon, as a low pressure moved in, fishing slacked off a bit, but a switch of spots and techniques produced results, this time more haddock than cod, with bait being the favorite over jigs.

Big Dogs of Moriah – Gloucester Cod Fishing on Tuna Hunter

Stellwagen Bank abounds with sand eels, and the cod are filling up on them as they please. Cod and haddock fishing will remain strong into the summer months. Migrating striped bass will be arriving in Gloucester soon – May marks the usual arrival for the Geiger Birthday Bash – there are always stripers for this important outing. Bluefin tuna fishing will commence as soon as these beauties move up the coast. Can’t wait!

For our latest openings, please call Captain Gary at 978-407-1351, or email captain@tunahunter.com.

Spring Break Fishing for Tuna Hunter in the Florida Keys

Spring Break for Tuna Hunter!

In an unprecedented spring break maneuver, Tuna Hunter was bribed down to Islamorada in the Florida Keys for a few days of awesome fishing for bonefish, tarpon, dolphin and sailfish.

While it was hard to leave Gloucester Cod & Haddock Fishing, the timing was perfect to avoid some bad weather and high winds in the north.

Might as well bend a rod somewhere!
High winds made for some challenging boating, but the desire to fish prevailed. Offshore, trolling to locate pods of dolphn, then casting to hook additional turquoise wonders. Nothing beats the acrobatics of a snared dolphin … twists ,flips, twirls and turns … incredible!

Except, perhaps, to hook into a sailfish. That acrobatics show is also incredible. And for us New Englanders, a sailfish is a treat.

We are back! A short, productive trip to the Keys has us jazzed for full-time New England cod & haddock fishing. We hare tuna have been spotted off of Virginia, and they are headed our way. Striped Bass will be moving in shortly, followed by those bluefin tuna … yeah!

Call or email to our latest openings – we look forward to seeing out on the water – our clients make our season enjoyable!

Good fishing to you!

Captain Gary and Karen Cannell
