Deep Sea Fishing in Cape Cod
March/April 2006
Cold weather means “hot” Cape Cod fishing,
especially on Stellwagen Bank. Fast action cod fishing with lots of doubles
makes it easy to fill your freezer with lots of great eating white-meat
fillets. Most cod were 8-20 lbs with some bigger fish. Experience thrills
aboard a charter from Big Fish
Charters! Most trips tallied a mixed bag with plenty of haddock, wolffish, pollack and occasionally monkfish. The waters are cold, yet the
fishing is hot!

Experience spectacular deep sea fishing in Cape Cod waters. Fishing charters
are our specialty! Sign
up for a trip of a lifetime with Big Fish Charters. This month we
witnessed massive schools of sand eels, mackerel and herring surrounding the
waters of Stellwagen Bank.
Cod fishing is
at its prime this month! Catches of big cod fish weighing 10-20 lbs
and larger, rules the majority of the catches. Plenty of haddock, pollack,
wolffish and cusk were also taken. More haddock were taken than earlier in
the season and some giant pollack ranging between 15-30 lbs also favored some of our
anglers.

Warm June days brought the first
striped bass and
bluefish of the season to the waters located off of Provincetown, Cape Cod.
Stellwagen Bank is alive with cod this month and some fish between 20, 30 and 40
lbs (some larger) began to show up. Haddock catches also began to improve
with most fish 7 to 15 lbs. Most cod and haddock trips also had their share of wolffish, monkfish and cusk. Most striped bass ranged between 15-20 lbs, with
some bass catches weighing over 35 lbs. Striped bass fishing has never been
better! Big Fish Charters is the way to go when fishing for bass, cod or
haddock. Jump aboard and
see the difference!

By the middle of July, all major species
of game fish are present in our area. The warm waters are stocked with
blue fin tuna,
striped bass,
haddock, cod fish
and many other types of species awaiting our lines. The first giant blue fin
tuna (ranging from 500 lbs to over 1,100 lbs) was caught this month as well.
July proved to be a prosperous month for
school tuna
fishing as well. Our school tuna ranged between 50 lbs and 250 lbs.
Mako shark,
Porbeagle shark, Thresher shark and blue sharks also begin to bite as the
waters warm up. Typically, the biggest cod of the season are caught on
Stellwagen Bank during July, August and September.
Striped bass and
bluefish also cooperated well during July. See for yourself why
tuna fishing charters
from Big Fish Charters are above the rest.

Experience deep sea fishing in Cape Cod
during August. While on our fishing charters, we caught
several
giant blue fin tuna ranging between 700 lbs and 900
lbs, and also had great catches of school tuna weighing in
around 50 lbs to 250 lbs. Our
cod fishing and haddock fishing trips have been
fantastic this month.
Bass fishing was also prosperous in August. We caught
striped bass over 30 lbs and
shark fishing also pleased most customers. Most sharks
were blue sharks but some Mako, Porbeagle and Thresher
sharks were taken. Sharks ranged from 100 lbs to near 500
lbs.

We experienced some of the best weather yet in the month of
September. The warm breezes and cool waters contributed to an overflow of
fish eager to bite this month. Both
giant blue fin
tuna and
school tuna fishing was fantastic! We saw giant bluefin tuna weighing in
over 100 lbs and 90% of our school tuna charters scored with fish ranging
between 50 lbs to 200 lbs and larger! In addition, we also caught cod over 50 lbs and our customers went home with coolers filled with great
eating haddock fillets. Most striped bass trips ended up with limits of bass
to 35 lbs and shark fishing was fantastic with sharks weighing almost 400
lbs. September proved to be a very exciting month for deep sea fishing in
Cape Cod waters. Other fishing charters on the Cape cannot compare to an
experience you'll have aboard Big Fish Charters!

Shorter days and cooler temperatures triggered a feeding
frenzy among most species of fish in the waters off of Stellwagen Bank in
Cape Cod. One of the reasons for the extensive feeding was due to the fact
that many of the migrating species are trying to fatten up for the long
journey ahead into warmer waters. Due to this influx of feeding fish,
October has always been a great month for our
tuna fishing charters. Most
years we have great luck catching both giant tuna and school tuna. Along
with prosperous tuna fishing, October is also one of the best months for
catching sharks usually east of Stellwagen Bank. We had great luck fishing
for haddock, wolffish, monkfish, pollack and striped bass. Cod were caught
over 50 lbs as well. This month shaped up to be excellent for our
Cape Cod
fishing charters.

November is our best month for haddock fishing. Due to our
spectacular month of haddock fishing, we were able to offer several "haddock
specials" and plenty of wolffish, pollack and cusk were also biting during
November. Our tuna fishing charters were also quite victorious, catching
both school tuna and giant tuna fish. The 2006 fishing year certainly was
exciting! Make sure to
