The Northeast offshore fishery is finally getting another chance after the latest stretch of brutal weather—but the fishing hasn’t exactly bounced back everywhere.

This week on the Northeast Offshore Report, Jimmy Fee and Cheech break down the latest action from New England through the Mid-Atlantic, including the surprising lack of yellowfin tuna south of Atlantis Canyon, strong swordfish action in the eastern canyons, and the continued consistency of giant bluefin from Cape Cod to Rhode Island.

The offshore season isn’t over yet. With more weather windows opening up and plenty of fall still ahead, the next few weeks could change the picture quickly.
 
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.
