Tuna Fishing Charters Gloucester, MA

June 1, 2022

Tuna fishing charters Gloucester, MA. Gloucester, Massachusetts provides some of the best Bluefin Tuna Fishing in the world! Most of our fishing spots are not to far away from the dock, given the amazing underwater structure that is located not to far off of Gloucester’s coastline. The Giant Bluefin Tuna is one of the baddest fish in the sea! Capable of growing over 1500lbs and swimming up to 50mph! It truly can be a amazing experience and a memory of a lifetime to tangle with one of these fish.

The Bluefin Tuna will show up mid June and hang out off of our coastline up until December. Giving great opportunities to fish for them all summer and through the fall!

Enjoy some pictures of our past Giant Bluefin Tuna catches from last season! Thanks!

Fishing Charters Gloucester, Massachusetts Tuna, Striped Bass, Cod and Haddock

Karen Lynn Charters Gloucester, Massachusetts

Excellent 2015 charter fishing season aboard Karen Lynn Charters out of Gloucester, Massachusetts! Great all around Tuna, Striped Bass, Haddock and Shark fishing enjoyed by many new and returning clients.

Cod and Haddock Fishing Charters

We started out bottom fishing for Cod and Haddock on May 1, which always creates a fun atmosphere. The fishing was pretty consistent all through the summer. Most trips we are usually anchored up and dropping down rigs baited with clams. You never know what you be reeling up from the deep which keeps things interesting. Almost always we would run into a few Pollock and Cusk to go along with the Cod and Haddock. We also had many trips with Shark encounters. As your reeling up your fish from the bottom they tend to grab it right off the hook or you getting back just the head. Always creates excitement as we keep our shark rod ready to go. We will set someone up in the stand up fighting gear and toss out a bait. More often than not the shark is still hanging around and will take the bait. Makes for a great battle and a unique experience bringing a large Shark up next to the boat!

Striped Bass Fishing Charters

The Striped Bass showed up pretty good starting in late May early June off of the Gloucester shoreline. They tend to produce fun and exciting action on lighter tackle as they always put up a good fight. They can be very aggressive chasing the live bait and coming right out of the water after it. I always enjoy watching clients battle there first Striped Bass as they are usually hooked on fishing shortly after! Striped Bass fishing charters can be a great way to spend the day out on the water.

Tuna Fishing Charters

The World Class Bluefin Tuna fishery we have off of Gloucester, MA proved to be a fairly productive season. On most days we had a good shot at hooking into a tuna, some slower days here and there of course but overall it was good. Lots of bait in most of the areas we fish which is always a good sign and will keep the tuna hanging around and aggressive to feed. A few different size class tuna were in the mix as we caught fish from a 100lbs up to 900lbs. On one trip we hooked into two 600lb class fish at the same time we got lucky and landed them both which was quite the memory for the lucky charter on board! Fishing charters for Bluefin Tuna out of Gloucester, Massachusetts can be a unique experience in itself hooking and landing one will truly create the memory of a lifetime!

Bluefin Tuna Fishing Charters, Striped Bass, Cod, Haddock and Shark Fishing Season Review

January 14, 2014

Tuna, Striped Bass, Cod and Haddock Fishing Gloucester, MA

We enjoyed some great fishing on the Karen Lynn during the 2013 season. Starting off in April with excellent ground fishing for Cod and Haddock, many days with great action and bent rods allowing clients to take home plenty of fresh fish, some of the best New England has to offer. Some days you had to bounce around a bit but we always seemed to find some good action, on most Cod and Haddock trips we usually had a run in with a shark or two as there seemed to be a lot of them around. Mostly blue sharks but an occasional Porbeagle or Mako shark would show up which can be an excellent fight as well as good table fare, always exciting seeing a big shark swim up behind the boat.

Striped Bass Fishing Gloucester, MA

A great mix of Striped Bass started showing up in late May right behind the mackerel. Creating some fun and exciting action on most trips with great Striped Bass fishing continuing through June and July. With some Monster Striped Bass being landed, some times it takes patience waiting on that big one to come along but it is certainly worth it. The coast of Gloucester offers some great Striped Bass Fishing with the chance of catching a true trophy Striped Bass!

Bluefin Tuna Fishing Gloucester, MA

The Blue fin Tuna showed up off of Gloucester in June which gave us a chance at catching a few early season Tuna. As the Season went on the tuna started to settle into certain areas but not for long as the bait fish were always on the move. So staying on top of that and making good decisions on any given day would give us our shot at hooking up. With more and more baitfish showing up every year it’s always exciting to see what size and class of fish show up! Looking forward to the new season as new groups and different size class tuna should be showing up off of Gloucester.
