What to Expect on the Water

We've got flexible start times, so whether you're an early bird or prefer a midday launch, we've got you covered. Our trips run anywhere from 5 to 9 hours, giving you plenty of time to find the fish and get your line wet. And if you're really feeling it?

Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, my crew and I will make sure you're rigged up right and ready to land the big one. We'll hit all the local hotspots, from the harbor islands to the outer banks, wherever the fish are biting that day.

Techniques That Hook the Big Ones

When it comes to fishing these waters, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves. For stripers, we might start off trolling with tube and worm rigs along the rocky shorelines. As the tide changes, we could switch it up to casting topwater plugs or live-lining some fresh pogies. Bluefish? Those choppers love a fast-moving lure, so we might break out the diamond jigs or troll some spoons to get them fired up.

Throughout the day, we'll keep an eye on the fish finder, looking for those telltale marks that signal a school below. And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll walk you through each technique, from setting the drag to working the lure just right. By the end of the trip, you'll be jigging and casting like a pro.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Northeast inshore fishing, stripers are the fish that dreams are made of. These silver-sided bruisers can grow upwards of 50 pounds, and they put up a fight that'll have your arms burning. They start showing up in Boston waters in late spring, with the fishing really heating up through summer and into early fall. Stripers love structure, so we'll target them around rocky outcroppings, bridge pilings, and submerged wrecks. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a big striper crushing a topwater lure at dawn.

Bluefish: Don't let anyone tell you blues are just a consolation prize - these toothy critters are some of the hardest-fighting fish pound-for-pound in these waters. Bluefish show up in force come summer, often in large schools that can turn the water into a frenzy when they're feeding. They'll hit just about anything that moves, making them a blast for anglers of all skill levels. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them - they don't call 'em choppers for nothing! The best part? A fresh-caught bluefish makes for some mighty fine eating if you know how to prepare it right.
