The waters around Hingham and Boston Harbor are prime territory for Striped Bass, particularly from late spring through summer. These powerful gamefish migrate into the area as water temperatures rise, with June marking the beginning of peak season. Stripers in this region typically range from schoolie-sized fish in the 20-inch class up to trophy specimens exceeding 40 inches.
Captain Horte targets these fish using various techniques depending on conditions. When Striped Bass are feeding actively near structure or chasing bait on the surface, casting lures or flies can produce exciting visual strikes. During other times, trolling with tube and worm rigs or drifting live bait like mackerel or pogies can be more effective. The diverse structure of Boston Harbor—with its islands, channels, and rocky shorelines—creates perfect ambush points for these predators, making for consistent action throughout the summer season.
For your day on the water with Blueline Fishing Charters, plan to arrive at the meeting point at 18 Shipyard Dr about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Dress in layers as temperatures on the water can be cooler than on land, and don't forget sun protection including sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. While all fishing equipment is provided, you're welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer.
The boat is well-maintained and comfortable, with enough space for the recommended group size of 4 anglers (though it can accommodate up to 6). Captain Horte recommends bringing water and snacks for the 5-hour trip, as well as a camera to document your catches. Most fish are released after a quick photo, supporting conservation efforts for these valuable gamefish species, though the captain can clean any legal fish you wish to keep for the table. For the best experience, consider booking your trip around optimal tide times—something Captain Horte can advise on when you make your reservation.
