The community is intended for Bluefin Tuna fisherman in the area of Cape Cod and the Islands (Nantucket and Marthas VIneyard).

Question 4

What is expected of me once I become a member?

Accepted Answer

Members of the Bite Club are expected to participate!  This means posting a fishing report after every trip, regardless of the outcome.  Share where you were, what you saw, learned, water temperature, bait, whatever.  Every little bit is valuable.

Members who do not post at least a few times a year are subject to removal the following fishing season.
