This week, Jimmy Fee and Cheech break down the current offshore bite. Things were a little slow for tuna over the weekend, but there’s a rare opportunity for anglers to target wahoo inside the canyons. Giant bluefin are biting well, and the midshore yellowfin bite is showing some signs of life. With September here, the weather and the bite will be changing quickly, so look for things to improve soon.

In this week’s report:

  • Recreational bluefin tuna fishing remains slow
  • Giant bluefin continue to provide consistent action
  • Stellwagen Bank, Chatham, and Rhode Island updates
  • Where bluefin could show up next this fall
  • The latest canyon fishing reports
  • Marlin, wahoo, and offshore opportunities

 
Watch this week’s Northeast offshore fishing report for the latest information on swordfish, tuna, marlin, billfish, and offshore fishing conditions from Cape Cod, Nantucket, the Hudson Canyon, and beyond.
