Bluefin Tuna

Mark Elliott's Fishing Report

Today's offshore fishing adventure on our Cape May Fishing Charter with Shaun Brasington and his group was a test of patience. The blackfin tuna proved elusive, and the bite was slow. However, our persistence paid off as we managed to hook into some quality blackfins. Shaun and his group went 2 for 3 on those prized catches. It's a reminder that in the world of offshore fishing, every day is an adventure, and the thrill of the chase keeps us coming back for more.
