2012 Cod Regulations - The cod regulations effective May 1, 2012 are 9 cod per person, minimum size of 19" (down from 24"). Through April 30 the 10 cod per person at 24" minimum applies. We will keep you posted of any mid-season updates, though none are expected. Call us for more information.

Bluefin Tuna action held through November last year - True giants arrived late September, kept us busy for an extended season into late November. Landed two ~800 lb bluefin on one day, two 500 lb bluefin tuna on another, a few 700's - these make for wicked great tuna fishing charters (with class)!
Let's hope that 2012 Gloucester tuna fishing brings these same fish back, a bit larger, stronger and hungrier. Reports are the bluefin are on their way northward now.

This is Gloucester giant bluefin tuna fishing at its finest - come tuna fishing while it lasts.

2012 Gloucester striped bass fishing will start in May as the larger stripers migrate into our waters. We are seeing mackerel now- stripers are not far behind. Come join us to catch both these hugies and enjoy some light-tackle schoolie action.
For 2012 tuna fishing, expect a mix of giants (sell-able fish, 300 to 1100+ lbs), medium (tag-and-release) and small (keepers!) tuna, caught on giant rods or lighter tackle. Yes, we said 1100 lbs - true giants have returned to the Gloucester area.

Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters ~ Captain Gary Cannell

He is known for his expertise with Striped Bass, Cod, Sharks, and Giant Bluefin Tuna. Originally from New Jersey, Capt. Gary learned and perfected the art and science of giant bluefin tuna fishing. Tuna Hunter would follow bluefin tuna up and down the New England coast each season, frequenting Brielle/Manasquan, NJ, Montauk, NY, Point Judith, RI and Chatham and Gloucester, MA. Captain Gary and Tuna Hunter moved to Gloucester in 1995 when caught and landed by a mermaid.

When not hunting, Gary is tuna fishing, bass fishing, cod fishing, fly fishing. diving or ice fishing. Come fall and winter, Gary is hunting birds, deer or elk. He is always searching for new fishing hot sports, new techniques, and new ways to get fishing to bite - always hunting and fishing in some way or manner.
