On Monday the crew of RELENTLESS had on board Ed Cooper who is an active duty Coast Guardsman who is stationed in the Boston area. Joining him from Ruskin, Florida was his sister Marj, her husband Wayne and their son Chris who is majoring in biochemistry at Florida State. The plans for the day was to get offshore to Stellwagen Bank and get in on the action for some school bluefin tuna fishing. Arriving at Stellwagen Bank at the Southwest corner we found only a few boats in the early morning hours trolling for these fish. Immediately after putting out the rigs we were pounded by bluefish which could not resist the rigs. Throughout the norning we watched friends and others land some of the tuna up to 65" and around 175 LBS. We did not see any fish busting and could not get them to eat. I believe there were several fish in the area but they were finicky on this day. We departed the area to finish up with striped bass fishing and on the way over to Race Point we came across a school of tuna which appeared to be small school fish which was 50 yards square and pushing on top, just cruising into Cape Cod Bay. You could see them flashing right beside the boat and as we eased over to put the rigs in front of the school they would not eat. They are tough to bait when in this mode and we even tried dropping baits back into the school and cranking like mad. We also observed a small pod of larger fish pushing next to the boat which were easily over 250 LBS. Even though it was not our day tuna fishing, it is shaping up to be a great season with all of the tuna and bait around. Once we gave up on the tuna we proceeded to fish Race Point and landed several good striped bass and bluefish for Ed and his party to take home for the grill. The highlight of the day was watching Ed and Chris land two beautiful fish on black and red jigs in about 20 feet of water. After the ride home, Jerry filleted everything up and said our goodbyes. I wish Ed good luck with his new assignment this year and want to thank him for his patronage. Currently RELENTLESS has oepnings for both shared and private charters. I am going to focus in July for Striped Bass and Tuna running combination and open boat (shared charters) along with private trips. If you are interested in going on one of these trips, call us now at (781) 871-2113 to discuss dates. Don't miss out on a chance to land the fish of a lifetime while they are onlly a little over an hour from the docks.   | ||
