In late summer, a plume of warm water brought hungry yellowfin tuna within easy range of Cape Cod, where fishermen were able to target the tuna with topwater poppers.
On this trip, Anthony DeiCicchi, Chris Megan, and Jimmy Fee head to the tuna grounds with spinning rods and poppers hoping to find some surface-smashing yellowfin.

"... How important the pause is. "You almost work a popper for yellowfin slower than pencil poppers for stripers". Great comment. A while back at a Gibbs lures seminar I asked how fast is the retrieve for stripers? The answer was "when you think you're going slow enough, slow down". My follow up was, "OK, how far is the retrieve in 1 minute"? Answer: 3 feet. That one answer changed my whole striper strategy. It would be confirmed years later by accident. New to casting reels and in a kayak, I created a fine birdsnest. After 2 minutes of clearing the spool, I looked around for the spook lure just as a 42" er calmly sucked the lure in from directly below in 5 feet of water. Another big piece of the puzzle. A tuna moving 50 feet to feed in nothing. Watching a straight up strike is a lifelong memory, even if it's a miss (if only I hadn't moved it, lol).

Over the past 3 years I have become a fanatic about the “inshore” fishing south of MV. This video really shows how diverse and special of a fishery we have here on Cape Cod so close to shore. From 50# yellows blowing up everywhere, to big mahi lurking on the pots, to a monster white marlin chasing the mahi. It really is a special place out there and not too far from home. Amazing video!

There’s no better feeling then pointing the bow north with meat on deck . Longgg trip home otherwise

@jonnyboy513 6 ай бұрын

What’s a good, not to pricy rod for popping 40-60lb yellows?. I make about 4 to 5 tuna trips per season so it’s not an every weekend thing for me.

jigging world makes great stuff and the prices are fair.

The Luminous Popping Rods that were used during filming of this sick episode might be the ticket! Available in a variety of Lengths & Powers. I'd recommend the 7'6" Medium Heavy model for what you're planning on chasing after. 😎

Why don’t you just use softbaits? Here in Italy we use those softbaits named “Black Minnow by Fiish” and they are just perfect for tuna Fishing, you have to rig them with a normal hook instead of the one with which they come.
