November Bluefin Tuna on the Outer Cape

The fall butterfish tuna bite often provides frequent visuals with tuna breaking on bait pods near the surface, but as many anglers find, these fish can be extremely picky, requiring a bit more finesses with smaller lure presentations to get bit. Generally, most of these fish are under 100lb, so light tackle MH outfits packed with 50-60lb braid and 50-80lb fluoro not only reduce visibility but also allow for super long-range casting.
