What to Expect on the Water

Once we hit our sweet spots, it's time to drop lines and get to work. We use a mix of techniques out here, depending on what's biting and where. You might find yourself jigging for cod one minute and bottom fishing for flounder the next. Our crew's always on hand to show you the ropes - literally. We'll help you bait up, teach you how to work your rod for the best results, and be right there when it's time to haul in the big one. And trust me, when you feel that first tug on your line, you'll be glad you came aboard.

Top Catches This Season

Let's talk fish. Our waters are teeming with some real beauties, and each one puts up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Here's what you can expect to tangle with:

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored fighters are a favorite among our guests. They're known for their powerful runs and can weigh up to 40 pounds. Best part? They're delicious on the grill. We usually find them hanging around structure, so when we hit a spot known for reds, be ready for some serious action.

Haddock: These cousins of cod are prized for their sweet, flaky white meat. They're typically smaller than cod, averaging 2-5 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. When we hit a school of haddock, it's not uncommon for everyone on board to be reeling them in left and right.

Atlantic Cod: The heavyweight champion of our local waters. These guys can tip the scales at over 50 pounds, though most you'll catch will be in the 5-20 pound range. Cod fishing is all about feeling the bite and setting the hook hard. When you've got a big one on the line, you'll know it - they pull like a freight train.

Winter Flounder: Don't let their flat shape fool you; these bottom-dwellers put up a great fight. They're masters of camouflage, blending in with the ocean floor. Catching flounder is an art - you've got to finesse your bait right in front of their noses. But when you hook one, it's like reeling in a dinner plate, and man, are they tasty.

Bluefish: These are the speed demons of the Atlantic. When bluefish are around, get ready for some fast-paced fishing. They hit hard and run fast, often putting on acrobatic displays as they try to throw the hook. Pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish you'll encounter on our trips.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish - though that's a big part of it. Our trips are about the whole experience. There's something special about being out on the open water, surrounded by nothing but blue as far as the eye can see. You might spot whales breaching in the distance or see dolphins playing in our wake. And let's not forget the camaraderie - there's nothing like sharing fish stories and friendly competition with your buddies or family. Plus, with a limit of 4 guests, you're getting a personalized experience that big party boats just can't match.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the thrill of offshore fishing, but nothing beats experiencing it for yourself. Whether you're looking to fill your freezer with fresh fillets or just want to test your skills against some of the Atlantic's most prized game fish, this trip's got you covered. We provide all the gear, the expertise, and the hot spots - all you need to bring is your sense of adventure (and maybe a cooler for your catch). So what are you waiting for? Give Captain Horte a call and let's get you out on the water for a day you won't forget. Trust me, once you feel that first big hit on your line, you'll be planning your next trip before we even make it back to the dock.

Learn more about the species

Atlantic Cod

Atlantic cod are the classic New England groundfish - big, powerful, and delicious. Most we catch run 5-20 pounds, but 30+ pounders still show up. Look for them over rocky structure in 100-300 feet of water year-round. Cod fight with strong, bulldog-like runs to the bottom. Anglers target them for both the sporting challenge and their legendary firm, white fillets. To entice a bite, drop large bucktail jigs tipped with clams or squid right to the bottom. Work it with sharp lifts and drops. When you feel weight, set the hook hard - cod have tough mouths. For best results, focus on tide changes when the fish feed most actively. With some local knowledge and the right presentation, you've got a good shot at tangling with these iconic bottomfish.

Bluefish

Bluefish are hard-fighting predators that'll test your gear and skills. Most we catch run 3-10 pounds, but 15+ pounders aren't rare. Look for them near structure or bait schools from June through October. Blues are famous for their aggressive feeding frenzies - you'll often see them churning up the surface. They hit hard and fight dirty with powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Anglers love targeting them for the pure excitement. To hook up, try casting topwater plugs into breaking fish or trolling surgical tubes. Just watch those teeth when unhooking - they're razor sharp. Dawn and dusk are prime times when blues feed most actively. With some local knowledge and the right presentation, you're in for some serious rod-bending action with these toothy battlers.

Haddock

Haddock are a prized catch in these parts, known for their flaky white meat. Most run 2-5 pounds, but 10+ pounders aren't unheard of. You'll find them over rocky or gravelly bottom in 150-300 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime seasons as the fish move inshore. Haddock put up a decent fight for their size, with quick runs and head shakes. Anglers love targeting them not just for the fight, but for their excellent table fare. To boost your chances, use fresh sea clams or squid on a simple high-low rig. Keep your bait right on the bottom and watch for the telltale tap-tap of a haddock bite. A light touch on the hookset helps avoid tearing their soft mouths. With a little patience, you can often fill the cooler with these tasty bottom dwellers.

Redfish

Redfish, also known as Red Drum, are a popular inshore game fish found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. Recognized by their copper-bronze bodies and a distinctive black spot near the tail, redfish are strong fighters and a favorite target for both beginner and experienced anglers. They thrive in shallow bays, marshes, and estuaries, often schooling in large numbers and feeding on shrimp, crabs, and baitfish.

Redfish are typically caught using live bait or artificial lures, especially near grass flats, oyster beds, and coastal structures. They’re available year-round in many areas, with peak seasons varying by region. Known for their delicious flavor and hard-fighting nature, redfish offer a rewarding experience whether you’re fishing from shore, boat, or kayak.

Winter Flounder

Winter flounder are sneaky flatfish that require some finesse to catch. Most run 1-3 pounds, with anything over 5 considered a trophy. You'll find them on sandy or muddy bottom in 20-60 feet of water. Spring is prime time as they move inshore to spawn. Flounder don't put up much of a fight, but the challenge is in detecting their subtle bites. Anglers enjoy targeting them for their mild, sweet fillets. To up your odds, use small hooks with bits of seaworm or clam. Keep your rig on the bottom and watch for the slightest tap or weight. Set the hook gently - flounder have soft mouths. A sensitive rod really helps feel those light bites. With some patience and a delicate touch, you can often put together a nice catch of these tasty flatfish.
