What is the best time of year to fish in Cape Cod?

The prime fishing season runs from late spring through autumn, with distinct seasonal highlights depending on what you want to catch.

Our offshore tuna charters include heavy-duty stand-up gear, specialized offshore trolling and chunking tackle, live bait when available, and the expert tactical navigation required to find giant pelagics.

What should I bring on an In The Net Sportfishing Cape Cod trip?
