Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass are the premier gamefish of Massachusetts coastal waters. These powerful predators migrate along the coast seasonally, with peak fishing typically occurring from late spring through fall around Hingham. They're often found around structure, channel edges, and areas with strong current flow where baitfish concentrate.
Captain David specializes in both live bait techniques and artificial lure presentations depending on conditions and preference. Early morning and evening trips often produce the most consistent action, though stripers can be caught throughout the day when conditions align. The thrill of battling a large striper on light tackle makes these fish particularly popular among New England anglers.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters depart from Hingham Harbor where parking is convenient and accessible. The boat is a well-maintained center console equipped with GPS, fish finder, and safety equipment for a comfortable day on the water. We recommend wearing layers as morning temperatures can be cool even in summer months, along with sun protection, non-marking shoes, and a camera to document your catch.
Most trips begin early morning to take advantage of prime fishing conditions, though we can accommodate afternoon departures upon request. All fishing gear is provided, though anglers are welcome to bring their own equipment if preferred. Our catch-and-release policy for striped bass ensures sustainable fishing practices, with photos encouraged to capture your fishing memories.
