Just say the word, and for $120 an hour, we'll keep the lines wet as long as you want.

Fishing the Atlantic Way

Out here, we don't mess around. We're talking deep-sea fishing at its finest. We'll be dropping lines anywhere from 50 to 200 feet down, using heavy-duty rods and reels that can handle the big boys. Depending on what's biting, we might be jigging for cod, bottom fishing for tautog, or even trolling for some of the pelagics that cruise through. The crew will show you the ropes if you're new to this game, and even seasoned anglers might pick up a trick or two. We've got all the bait and tackle on board, so all you need to bring is a good attitude and maybe a lucky hat.

Top Catches This Season

Let's talk fish. The waters off South Shore are teeming with some real beauties, and we're here to help you land them. Cod is king around here, and for good reason. These tasty monsters can grow up to 100 pounds, though a good-sized catch is usually in the 10-30 pound range. Haddock is another local favorite, known for its sweet, flaky meat. Then there's the bulldogs of the sea – tautog. These guys might not look pretty, but they fight like crazy and taste even better. And don't forget about the redfish, whiting, and even the occasional dogfish to keep things interesting. No matter what ends up on your hook, you're in for a real treat.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Atlantic Cod: These guys are the reason people come from all over to fish these waters. Cod are crafty bottom-dwellers that put up a great fight. They're most active in the cooler months, so fall through spring is prime time. When you hook into a big one, you'll know it – they can really throw their weight around. And let's not forget, there's nothing quite like fresh cod for dinner.

Tautog: Also known as blackfish, these reef-dwelling bruisers are a real challenge. They love structure, so we'll be fishing near wrecks, rocks, and reefs. Tautog have powerful jaws that can crush crabs and other shellfish, so when they bite, they mean business. The best time to target them is in the fall when they're fattening up for winter. Landing a big tautog is a real accomplishment, and they're some of the best eating fish in the ocean.

Haddock: Cousins to the cod, haddock are another bottom-feeding favorite. They're known for their distinctive black "thumbprint" and their delicious, slightly sweet flavor. Spring is usually the hot time for haddock, but we can find them year-round. They might not fight as hard as some other species, but when you're pulling up two or three at a time, you won't be complaining!

Redfish: Also called ocean perch, these bright red beauties are a treat to catch. They school up in deep water, so when we find them, it can be non-stop action. Redfish have a mild, slightly sweet flavor that's hard to beat. They're available year-round, but we tend to see more in the cooler months. Don't let their size fool you – what they lack in fight, they make up for in numbers and taste.
