Have you ever really gotten the blues? If not you are in luck because a Bluefish charter on the Magellan out of Harwich Port, MA on Cape Cod can't be beat. Bluefish are by far the most aggressive, pound for pound, hardest fighting fish in the ocean. They are loaded with omega 3 fatty acid which is good for your heart, but the fight they put up can be a strain on your back. They even fight you once on board and if you are not careful will try to bite you when taking the hook out. The waters off Cape Cod, especially on Nantucket shoals, are teeming with Bluefish. We like to target them on surface baits in the tide rips. It is not uncommon when fishing off Nantucket be able to catch a thousand pounds of Bluefish on a full day trip. We have had countless days when we were averaging a fish a minute in the box. Tail-walking, hard-hitting, train wreck-like crashing the surface baits until your arms feel like they will fall off. The average size we see run from about 8 to 15 pounds. The largest we have ever put on a scale weighed 22 pounds. The I.G.F.A. world record for Bluefish was caught off Hatteras N.C. in 1972. It weighed in at 32 pounds. Wow what a beast! Bluefish are found world wide even in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. They are one of only 3 fish in the Pomatomidea family. Gorillas, Chompers, Yellow eyed devils, Blue Berries, Slammers and Alligators are some names you will hear fishermen use when referring to Bluefish.×

The mighty Bluefin tuna or as referred to in Days of Old, the horse mackerel, spends its summer and fall off the coast of Cape Cod. Tuna show up here every season to gorge themselves on the smorgasbord of bait off our coast. The crew of the Magellan has over 25 years experience catching these magnificent fish. In 2009 Captain Jason caught our biggest fish to date weighing in at 1,039 pounds. Our charter boat the Magellan fishes out of Saquatucket Harbor which is in Harwich Port on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Harwich Port has been a tuna fisherman's Mecca for over two decades and is where your deep sea tuna fishing adventure begins.×

A striped bass fishing charter on Cape Cod is second to none. My old friend, the late Howard T. Miner, would say the Striped Bass is "like a gentlemen in a pin striped suit" and they are truly magnificent creatures. The tide rips on Monomoy and Nantucket shoals off Cape Cod are where they do their business with the crew of the Magellan and we would like nothing more than to show how good fishing on Cape Cod can be.×

Come and join the Crew of the Magellan for the Cape Cod shark fishing charter of a life time. You have heard people say it is all about, "Location, Location, Location" and that is exactly why you should fish with us. Located in Harwich Port, MA on Cape Cod, we have access to some of the world's best shark fishing. We fish the waters east of Chatham, MA and south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket because that is where the bait is. The shoal waters around Cape Cod and the Islands are some of the most fertile waters in the world because of the mixture of warm and cold water that naturally accrues in this area. Squid, Herring, Butter Fish, Mackerel, Sand Eels, Bluefish and Ground Fish make up the best possible food source for sharks. In 2001 Luke Sweeney set the I.G.F.A. all tackle world record for a Mako Shark he caught just to the east of us off the coast of Cape Cod weighing in at 1,221 pounds.×
