Northeast Offshore Fishing Report

Cape Cod Bay Blitzes | Northeast Offshore Fishing Report July 15th, 2026

Meanwhile, reports of recreational-size bluefin and giants pushing close to shore off Massachusetts have added a new level of excitement, with fish feeding on bunker, squid, and sand eels from Coxes Ledge to Cape Cod Bay and beyond.In this week's Northeast Offshore Fishing Report, Jimmy Fee and Anthony DeiCicchi break down where the tuna have moved, the latest reports from charter captains and tackle shops up and down the coast, what techniques are producing—from live squid to jig-and-pop to snag-and-drop—and where anglers should focus as the weather windows line up.📍 Reports from New Jersey, Long Island, Montauk, Block Island, Massachusetts, Cape Cod, and the Gulf of Maine.Have a report from your area?
