Wednesday July 2nd Rec Tuna

Fishing for bluefin tuna is perhaps the most exciting fishing Cape Cod has to offer! For this epic adventure you'll be fishing with legendary Cape Cod charter captain, Willy Hatch of Machaca Sportfishing in Falmouth Harbor.

The Machaca is a 36 ft BHM which was totally rebuilt in 2014 with a new 400 hp cummins motor. This is a true lobsterboat and a very stable fishing platform for the offshore waters.

Captain Willy has fished his entire life since graduating from Union College with a BS in Environmental Science and Fisheries. Aside from chartering and commercial fishing off the coast of Cape Cod, Willy has run charter & commercial boats in Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, North Carolina, Florida and the Bahamas.

Willy is highly regarded as an authority on tuna fishing and comes highly recommended. You will be in good hands both from a safety and fish-catching perspective. Captain Willy has decades of experience, an extensive network of contacts, and the technical fishing knowledge necessary to make this tuna trip the adventure the trip of a lifetime.

Not only is fishing for rec bluefin 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. It's not unusual to go home with $400+ worth of tuna meat!
