Except for awful weather conditions, catching, hauling and stowing fresh live bait was probably the most hard giant tuna barrier for my crew last season. I'm very happy to point out that so far this autumn, the latest on the live bait front is a lot more encouraging.
Last week I headed the Miss Loretta way down Cape to Lewis Bay, just outside the Hyannis Marina. My fishing buddy had done a tuna bait run in Lewis early on in the week, and encountered plenty of ideal size blues feasting on 2 inch young of the year menhaden. Our expectations were set high for a abundant giant tuna bait trip.
I have to say, the community fishing boat ramp at Lewis Bay is amazing. It's a paved launch, with a spanking constructed boat dock plus lots of room to steer a vehicle and trailers. On top of that, there was no cost. I'm speculating no charge access is a post-Labor Day phenomenon, and most likely isn't ordinary at Lewis Bay. In any event, I'll take it!
Subsequently, after some searching about we found the motherload of blues loaded up in 7-18 ft . of water. The piles of snapper and rat blues shifted up and down the channel edge, yet there appeared to be tons of bait size bluefish, to the point that when we lost track of them, it did not take long for my crew to move around and quickly zone back in again.
The pods of snapper and rat blues shifted around quite a bit, even so there seemed to be so many bluefish, to the point that when we lost track of them, it did not take long for my crew to zone back in. Best fishing transpired after the tide started rolling in. The productive fishing died down very quickly when the current begun to slow, at nearly 11 AM.
We put up with tons of 4-8 inch bluefish that are just way too small to use as live bait for bluefin tuna.
In spite of this, for every twelve tiny blues we caught, we would hook one more substantial bluefish-appropriate for live bait. It turned out that anytime we located a school of baby pogies, we found larger bluefish in the vicinity.
Most productive lure for the small bluefish was a gold one inch spoon. This lure casts very easily on 6 pound line, and catches extremely well. Top lure for for the perfect bait size bluefish was the 3in. suspending, blue colored Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow.
I am definitely hoping that this hot spot becomes infiltrated with 12-20 inch bluefish over the next few weeks.
It'd be awesome to maintain a reliable sport for bluefin tuna bait. Whether or not we've got to drive somewhat to get there.
