Fall Topwater Tuna Fishing | Bluefin on Butterfish

Sometime in mid-September, the waters off Cape Cod will fill up with small butterfish. When school size bluefin tuna fish these small, slow-moving baitfish, it makes for some of the most visually exciting (if occasionally frustrating) topwater tuna fishing of the season.
In this video, Captain Kevin Gould describes the tackle and tactics he uses to catch fall bluefin when they're feeding on butterfish.

If you plan on targeting tuna on your own boat, you'll need a Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Permit. hmspermits.noaa.gov/
