Reel Adventure: Striped Bass Bonanza on the South Shore

It was another great day on the water with Andrea, exploring the South Shore for some inshore action. As a Boston native, I always look forward to guiding these trips in June—the weather is usually pleasant, the water is in great shape, and the fish are really active this time of year.

We got an early start, meeting up at 18 Shipyard Dr at 7:00 am under a bit of cloud cover, but the rain cleared out quickly, leaving us with comfortable conditions throughout the day. I rigged up some deep sea, jigging, and light tackle setups, and we wasted no time getting lines in the water. The key was covering different depths and working some structure to find the Striped Bass—they've been staging up in preparation for the summer, and we were determined to put Andrea on some quality fish.

It wasn't long before her rod doubled over, and she was into her first Striper of the day. The fish put up a great fight, but she kept her cool and got it to the boat. After that, the bite just kept getting better, and we managed to land several more nice Striped Bass using a mix of trolling, jigging, and light tackle presentations. It was awesome to see the variety of techniques paying off, and Andrea was a natural, switching up her approach on the fly to stay on the fish.

Overall, it was just an incredible day out on the water. The South Shore scenery was beautiful, the fishing was better than I could have hoped for, and most importantly, Andrea had a blast. If you're looking to experience some of the best inshore fishing the Boston area has to offer, I'd highly recommend booking a Private 5 To 9 Hour Inshore Charter Trip In South Shore with Blueline Fishing Charters. We'll put you on the fish, teach you some new techniques, and make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water. Can't wait to get you out there!
