Reel in the Big One: South Shore Inshore Charter

Ready to get your line wet and chase some stripers? Captain Horte and the Blueline Fishing Charters crew are itching to get you on the water for some serious South Shore action. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your sea legs, we've got everything you need for a killer day of fishing. From rods and reels to bait and licenses, we've got you covered. And with flexible start times, you can hit the water when it suits you best.

What to Expect on the Water

Our trips are all about giving you the best shot at landing some trophy fish. Half-day charters keep us close to home, working the rich waters around Hingham and Hull. If you're up for a full day, we'll push out further, maybe hitting the Boston Harbor Islands or cruising down to Cohasset and Scituate. And hey, if the bite is on and you're having a blast, we can always extend the trip for a few extra hours. It's your day, we'll make it count.

Fishing Tactics & Hot Spots

When it comes to inshore fishing, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves. We might start the day chunking for blues, then switch to live-lining pogies for stripers as the tide changes. If the surface action is hot, we'll break out the topwater lures and watch those bass explode on them. We know all the local honey holes - from the rocky shorelines where big stripers lurk to the rips and channels where bluefish tear through bait schools. Captain Horte's been fishing these waters for years, and he's got a sixth sense for where the fish are holding.

What Anglers Are Saying

"We fished 3 days with Captain Dave and his deck hand Steve. These guys are pros and very informative all day looong. We caught striped bass, haddock, cod, our limit of 15 lobster, and many other fish with these Boston guys!! My daughter, cousins, and friends have made lasting memories with bluelines fishing charters." - Mark

"Captain Dave and his first mate Steve were absolutely phenomenal! I booked this trip for family coming into town every though it's not typical fishing season (for us general folk), but we were not disappointed. It was a chillier day and the forecast called for high winds. Capt Dave was so communicative and offered recommendations to make the trip a better experience beforehand. Capt Dave and Steve were so kind and knowledgeable, it was clear they are not only good at what they do, but they love and respect the sport. They made sure we were comfortable and successful and I would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting the best charter boat experience!" - Jackie

"We had the best morning with Capt. Dave and mate Matt! It was my birthday and wanted to take my grandkids fishing, and they both caught big strippers! Will definately return and Recommend to anyone especially with kids, they learned so much from them! Thank you, captain Dave and Matt, for a terrific morning!" - Susan

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Northeast inshore fishing, stripers are what bring anglers back year after year. These hard-fighting fish can grow to over 50 pounds, and they're known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Spring and fall are prime times to target stripers as they migrate along the coast. There's nothing quite like the thrill of watching a big striper crush a topwater lure at dawn.

Bluefish: If you're looking for a fight, bluefish are your ticket. These toothy predators are pure muscle and attitude. They'll hit just about anything that moves and put up a scrappy battle all the way to the boat. Bluefish typically show up in force during the summer months, creating frenzied surface blitzes as they chase bait schools. Watching a pack of blues tear into a school of pogies is a sight you won't soon forget.
