Bluefin Tuna
Targeting Bluefin Tuna near Sagamore Beach requires understanding the nuances of the local fishery. This area serves as a crucial migratory pathway, especially during the summer and fall months. Focus your efforts on Stellwagen Bank and the backside of Cape Cod, where Bluefin congregate to feed on abundant schools of mackerel and herring. Matching your presentation to the prevalent forage is crucial; live bait, trolling lures, and chunking can all be effective. Pay close attention to water temperature breaks, as these often concentrate bait and, consequently, tuna. Accessing the fishing grounds is convenient via the Scusset Beach State Reservation boat ramp. Local tip: keep a close eye on the presence of whales, as they often indicate areas with high concentrations of bait and tuna.
