Jeff has been a member of the site for 6 years now and has fully utilized all that MFCC has to offer. Through the My Fishing Cape Cod Forum he has honed his surfcasting skills, gained the confidence to participate in derbies such as the 36-Hour Grind, and is now pursuing his newfound passion for Blue Fin Tuna! After successfully landing a recreational Blue Fin aboard an MFCC Group Trip with Captain Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters, Jeff has outfitted his 23-foot boat with the proper gear to target Tuna. After getting help from a number of anglers in the MFCC Forum, on only his third attempt, Jeff hooked into a Giant North Atlantic Blue Fin.
