Captain Tom Ciulla of Stoneham has often contemplated taking a trip to Prince Edward Island to check off the one fish that has topped his bucket list, a giant bluefin tuna. As he set sail last week with a few pals from port in Gloucester aboard his 27’ McKee T Sea, he would soon realize his dream quite a bit closer to home. The destination was southern Jeffreys Ledge, the bait was sea herring, and the end result was 463 pounds of finned fury!
Once these seas subside the tuna game no doubt will be back on! If you haven’t mothballed your ride just yet you may be in luck. If you need further inspiration, peruse these photos and then go capture a few of your own!
I heard the mid water trawlers came through right before the weather and ruined the fishing. No? That’d be good news
The mid water trawl did not affect The availability of herring or the tuna fishing . The
whole closure is total bs for both com and rec. the seals and spiny dog fish wipe out all the forage fish and also eat cod.
thank you for
Jeffrey’s Ledge and Steelwagon Banks are closed to ALL FISHING this year.
I thought its only cod they closed
No recreational cod fishing anywhere in the GOM IN 2015.
Tuna fishing starts June 1 throughout the GOM.
Bluefin opens Jun 1 in the GOM, But when can I expect to start seeing the Bluefin???
