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

Call 978-407-1351 to set up your 2012 charters - join us as a single or partial group.
This is Gloucester giant bluefin tuna fishing at its finest - come tuna fishing while it lasts.

2012 Gloucester striped bass fishing will commend in May as the larger stripers migrate into our waters. 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.
Kite bites: Watch for that slam of a bluefin busting the kite bait on the surface - Hooked up! Single? Ask about shared charters - see our split charters page for more info

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.
