Offshore: Protail Swim-Eel Bundle (18pc)

Capt. Mike Hogan and the Hogy Crew head out to Regal Sword, a well-known fishing spot East of Chatham, to target giant Bluefin Tuna on the Hogy Harness Jig lures. There are two main methods when searching for tuna offshore; staying with life (whales bubble feeding, top water tuna, bait on the surface, bird activity) and the search and drop technique, which involves doing a search pattern with your fish finder looking for targets.

Capt. Mike shows us two techniques for targeting bluefin tuna off of Cape Cod on spinning gear. The Hogy Harness Jigs are carefully balanced to ensure a natural presentation whether they are straight retrieved or fished with a cast and drop retrieve. The Hogy Sliders are perfect to cast on heavy spinning setups and come tuna rigged right out of the package.

Join Capt. Mike Hogan and Capt. Nat Chalkley as they chase Cape Cod school bluefin tuna in mid June just south of The Claw, around 15 miles south of Marthas Vineyard. Capt. Mike covers the techniques he likes to use for finding fish in open water, including a brief how-to on rigging and deploying the Harness Jig and details his suggested offshore rod and reel outfit.
