Target giant Bluefin tuna in Cape Cod's worldclass watersAll experience levels welcome on productive offshore groundsSmall group charter with maximum 4 guests aboard
Looking to test your mettle against one of the ocean's most legendary fighters? Our all-day bluefin tuna trips off Cape Cod put you right in the heart of some of the Atlantic's best big game fishing. Captain and crew aboard Tigger Too Charters know these waters like the back of their hand, and we're talking about targeting fish that can easily hit triple digits on the scale. This isn't your typical half-day charter – we're heading offshore where the real giants live, and we're staying out there until we find them. Whether you've been dreaming about your first bluefin or you're a seasoned angler looking to add another trophy to your collection, this trip delivers the kind of fishing stories you'll be telling for years.
We're talking serious offshore fishing here – usually running 20-30 miles out to reach the productive bluefin grounds where the water temperature and bait concentrations are just right. The day starts early, typically around sunrise, because these fish are most active during prime feeding windows. Our crew monitors current reports, tracks water temps, and follows the bait schools to position you where the action is hottest. With a maximum of 4 anglers, you'll have plenty of room to work and won't be fighting for deck space when a fish is on. The boat's equipped with top-shelf electronics to locate schools and mark structure, plus we've got the heavy tackle needed to handle these powerful fish. Don't worry if you're new to this – our crew will walk you through everything from setting the drag to fighting techniques. Just be ready for a workout when one of these beasts decides to take your bait for a ride.
Bluefin tuna fishing is all about having the right gear and knowing how to use it. We run heavy conventional reels spooled with 80-130 pound test line because these fish will test every component of your setup. Most of the time we're trolling with spreader bars, cedar plugs, or ballyhoo to cover water and locate active schools. Once we mark fish, we might switch to chunking with fresh bait or even try some jigging if conditions are right. The key is reading the signs – bird activity, bait pods showing on the finder, water temperature breaks, and current edges all tell a story about where the tuna are likely to be feeding. Our crew handles all the rigging and will coach you through the fight, but be prepared for battles that can last 30 minutes to well over an hour. These fish are pure muscle and they know how to use every ounce of it, diving deep and making long, blistering runs that'll have your arms burning.
Bluefin tuna are the holy grail of New England fishing, and Cape Cod's offshore waters consistently produce some of the best bluefin action on the East Coast. These fish typically range from 40 inches and 60 pounds up to true giants exceeding 80 inches and 400-500 pounds, with peak season running from June through October when water temperatures hit that sweet spot between 58-68 degrees. What makes bluefin so special isn't just their size – it's their incredible power and stamina. They're built like underwater torpedoes with a unique circulatory system that keeps their core body temperature warmer than the surrounding water, giving them explosive speed and endurance that can humble even experienced big game anglers. When a bluefin hits, you'll know it immediately. The initial run can strip 200-300 yards of line in seconds, and the fight that follows is a true test of angling skill and physical endurance. These fish are also incredibly valuable, with top-quality specimens commanding premium prices in the sushi market, making them both a trophy catch and a potentially lucrative one for recreational anglers.
