Cash Purse, Buyer on Site and Two Big Days of Cape Cod Tuna Fishing
For Cape Cod fishermen who spend the summer chasing bluefin tuna, September 13 is a date worth circling on the calendar. The Cape Cod Bay Tuna Tournament, presented with Red’s Best, is set to bring teams together for a day of serious offshore tuna fishing, competition and cash.
The tournament flyer promises two things that get tuna fishermen's attention immediately: a cash purse and a buyer on site.
With Cape Cod Bay and the surrounding offshore waters entering one of the most exciting periods of the tuna season, the timing couldn't be better.
The Tournament Schedule
The tournament kicks off with the Captains Meeting on September 12 at 2 PM.
That's when captains and crews can get together, prepare for tournament day and make sure they understand the event details before heading offshore.
Then comes the main event:
September 13 — Fish Day
For tuna crews, fish day means an early start, rods rigged, reels topped off and boats ready to go. September can be one of the most exciting times of year to be on the water around Cape Cod, with offshore tuna providing the kind of action that can turn an ordinary fishing trip into an unforgettable day.
The Cape's Tuna Community Comes Together
Beyond the competition, tournaments like the Cape Cod Bay Tuna Tournament are a celebration of the region's offshore fishing culture.
Tuna fishing brings together charter captains, private boat owners, experienced crews and anglers who have spent years learning the waters around Cape Cod. Events like this provide an opportunity to compete, share stories and enjoy one of the area's greatest fisheries.
And with Red's Best involved, the tournament also has a strong connection to the seafood community and the working waterfront that has always been such an important part of Cape Cod.
