Open charter for bluefin jigging/popping in Cape Cod Bay - Page 2

timothy11 · 06-19-2008, 02:48 PM

i live here in mass and can tell you that last year we had fish till nov 11 in the bay. The action is real nice right now but will only get better as times goes on. The bait is starting to change and the pogies are moving out and we are now seeing sandeels out there. The past two days have been slower because of the full moon but will pickup any day now where we left off. I am usually on the water mating for offshoreanglercharters atleast three days a week or own my boat. i will try to keep you guys as posted as possible to the action up this way. Good Luck and Happy Hunting out there

I went tuna popping out of Cape Cod Bay yesterday (06-19).
The fishing condition was perfect with calm weather and excellent visibility. I saw lots of whales and birds, but I didn't see single tuna popping all day.

However today fishing by Sami's group on the Blackrose was different.
They fished exactly same areas I fished and had three bft and lost four on poppers. I heard Sami was accounted for most hook-ups. He must did right things. I heard stickbait worked better than poppers.

It slowed down.
Tuna popping should resume by August.

Kil - from what I've heard, the popping is more reliable in sept/oct. have you found this to be true?

BretABaker · 07-15-2008, 10:05 PM

how heavy were most jigs you were using? i have a lot of lighter jigs in the 150-250g range, but not many 350g+. Not sure what I need to get

Yes. Normally the popping is more reliable in late season. Last year was an exception.
But you never know. I think it is something to do with what they feed on.
We catch bluefin out of Cape May almost near bottom now as sandeel stay near the bottom. They feed on sandeel in Cape Cod Bay too.
