Sunday November 10th Rec Tuna with Captain Cullen
Sunday November 10th Rec Tuna with Captain Cullen
This trip will be a great opportunity to target one of the most exciting fish in the sea with captain Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters.
During these trips you will be targeting smaller bluefin tuna in the 50-200 pound range that you can bring home to eat. Not only is fishing for tuna exhilarating, but the meat of the bluefin is one of the most highly prized seafoods on Planet Earth. You'll have a great chance of hooking into Cape Cod's most powerful fish, and going home with a bag full of delicious tuna steaks!
During these trips you'll be fishing with Capt. Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters on his brand new 33' Conch center console. Captain Cullen is as dialed-in to the tuna bite as it gets. He has an extensive network of captains, friends and pilots directing him to the tuna.
All gear will be provided. Aside from bluefin tuna, you may also see different species of whales, dolphins, seabirds, sharks and who knows what else! For many people, these tuna trips have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"Just the experience of being out there early in the morning with the minke and humpback whales around us, the many types of seagoing birds birds hovering and diving everywhere and a great bunch of guys was phenomenal. Catching two bluefin tuna was the icing on the cake. Captain Cullen put us in the right spot, using the right jigs to get those beauties. What a day." - Paul Dunn
