Couple shots. Tuna fishing continues to impress with all sizes available. Jig and bait bite with some topwater mixed in if you're lucky. Bass are around and we're a bit finicky this week with mild tides, bright sun, and warm water. False Albacore and Bonito are now being found in our local waters and fished with small epoxy jigs under birds. Truly the best time of year to be on the water when the weather cooperates.

August fishing report for Nantucket Island. For the light tackle anglers, the Atlantic Bonito showed up earlier in the month. Big Bluefish have been a constant with warmer water temps and more bait (sand eels). Stripers are being caught in the colder water areas off the East end of Nantucket....

Sure. Fishing has been really decent both inshore and offshore. Bluefin both giant and rec size to be had on bait/troll/spin locally. Bass transitioning from squid to sandeels and still productive on most tides under bird piles.

Great trip overall! Captain Jack was knowledgeable, patient, flexible and we caught a bunch of fish. Noman's Land is a beautiful island worth seeing.

Mark and Casey were awesome! They were relaxed, fun to hang out with, and great with kids. The boat was really comfortable and we caught more stripers than we could take with us. We will definitely book with Mark again on future trips.

Trip: Cape Cod Bay Bass And Bluefish
★★★★★
We had an awesome time out there with Drew and Dawson! We were looking for bluefin tuna on artificial lures and fished hard off the Cape. The tuna were going crazy under birds. We got tight but unfortunately it wasn't to be. The Bluefin gotta win some days and can't wait to get back out there with these guys. Tackle was perfect and these guys know the area lick the back of their hand! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

Captain Bob and his mate Rocko showed us the best day of fishing we could have asked for. They showed my son , niece and nephew how to bring in the stripers and that we did. Nice conversations, personable guys, highly recommend this trip. Jeff Brooke
