Captain Tony of the Fox Sea Lady sailing out of Montauk said that with a break in the wind last Sunday he and his fares headed out to 30-40 fathoms in search of tuna. Despite there being a noticeable decrease of life compared to the previous week, the boat managed a few Mahi, triggers, and jacks to round out the trip.
The Tackle Direct team advised offshore anglers to head deep and look for those color breaks as there has been Mahi, Tuna, and lots of White Marlin stacked along the breaks.
The offshore action has been very good with football Yellowfin and Mahi at the Washington canyon, and some billfish at the Lindenkohl. The water was so good there, Blue marlin, White marlin, and Sailfish were in the mix. And the bigeye tuna continue to be very active in the Wilmington.
Tuna fishing at the Bacardi wreckhas been excellent reported the crew at Harry’s Army Navy. Yellowfin, skipjack and big false albacore are falling to chunks, jigs and poppers. Some false albacore have moved inshore as well, and are blitzing outside the inlets and off the beaches.

Canyon fishing is going strong reported Castaway Charters. The nighttime chunk bit is on in Atlantis Canyon. Trolling during the day is producing some billfish. Coop said the tuna troll bite was slow on his most recent trip to Hydrographers, but he caught plenty of other fish, including a swordfish, a marlin, a wahoo, some tilefish, and plenty of mahi-mahi.
Bluefin action has picked up off the backside of the Cape. Captain John of Fish Chatham Charters has been catching numerous 65-inch and larger tuna on the troll. On Saturday he landed three tuna over 70 inches. The larger tuna have been farther offshore, but close to shore near the Golf Ball, there have been big numbers of smaller 40-inch bluefin.
