Start fishing east of Chatham?

[CaptMike]

Hey,

I typically fish east of chatham several times a year (crab ledge, bc) but usually not until later in the season (july-August). When do the tuna start to show out there? I spend most of my time striper fishing but with a new boat this year I might try for tuna a little more. Thanks!!

I expect w/i next two weeks the first ones will be caught. I'll be down in that area fri-sun (6/19 - 6/21) and hope to land one.

[CaptMike]

Yeah I might try at that same time.

I would say they are there now, fish have been caught up north already, I saw pics of a 71" fish brought in to Dennis the other day. Crab Ledge should be holding fish right now.

[CaptMike]

that's good to hear

I would bet a sheckle or two that there are some fish out east today. But that is just me.

Awesome. I'm probably going to keep fishing inshore for another week or two then give it a shot
