Lady J. Sportfishing
Massachusetts's coast is home to excellent fishing, which is especially true for Cape Cod Bay. Lady J. Sportfishing knows this is true and uses this bountiful location to its fullest, taking their customers out to enjoy an exciting fishing adventure!
Join them on board their 38' sportfishing vessel, manufactured by Harris Sportfish, way back in 1987. She's been recently restored (in 2016) so you've got the combination of all the modern amenities an angler can expect with a tried-and-tested boat. She can hold up to 6 anglers in comfort, all fishing at the same time. The engine behind her is a massive Detroit diesel, providing 550 HP of thrust.
Your guide and instructor on this journey will be Captain Philip Caliri. He'll be right there as you tackle a variety of exciting fish such as the huge Striped Bass, Bluefish, Blue, Mako, Thresher, and Porbeagle Sharks, as well as the famous Blackfin and Bluefin Tuna. The techniques you'll be utilizing are spinning, popping, jigging, and trolling, while using light tackle – the fight is much more rewarding that way.
All required equipment is provided by the captain. There is no minimum age for children with Lady J. Sportfishing, the charter provides vests in all sizes. There's a first mate on board who will assist you and clean and fillet your catch, though he works for tips so gratuity is appreciated. Fishing licenses are included, so all you should bring are polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, adequate clothing, and a good can-do attitude!
* Due to rising fuel costs, a fuel surcharge may be imposed. *

My boys had a great time with Captain Phillip and his 1st mate Sky! The captain was super accommodating and attentive to messages ( I had to change the trip). Highly recommend this trip of a lifetime!
Had a great family day on the water with Captain Phil and First Mate Chris. We caught fish right off and caught throughout the entirety of the charter, over and under sized and caught 5 nice keepers. Captain Phil and Chris were friendly, funny, and knowledgeable and their sole mission was to get us fish anyway anyhow. They don’t follow the crowd, Phil makes his own decisions and we think that’s why we caught so many fish. We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you Captain Phil and Chris!

Captain Phil and mate Skie were awesome. We had a tough start but Phil worked his magic and the last two hours we pulled in 8 stripers and were able to keep 3. I so appreciate how hard Phil works to make sure everyone has fun and hooks as much fish as possible. Highly recommend!
Captain Phil and first mate Chris worked hard to put us on fish. We had a great day. Boat can accomodate a larger group. 6 in our party. It was also nice to have a rest room.
Captain Phillip got us on the fish none stop action all afternoon. We were well looked after by Chris. 20 plus stripe bass between 30 and 38 inches couldn’t ask for any more.

We had a great time sport fishing with Captain Philip and Chris! Captain Philip knows where to find the fish! As a group of newbies, Chris is very patient with guiding us and setting up the rods. Captain Philip and Chris are so passionate with what they do! At the end we kept 2 striped bass (both around 30 inches) and 2 bluefish for dinner. Don’t hesitate if you have never tried sport fishing! It’s absolutely fun and exciting with Captain Philip and Chris!

Capt. Philip and mate Matt know the waters and where the monster stripers are. Within 30 minutes of leaving the harbor with great views of the beaches and lighthouse- fish ON! 10-year old son caught 30" (keeper), 12 year-old niece caught another 30" (keeper), daughter caught another keeper at 32", brother-in-law caught 46" monster- take picture and release. THEN, I got to experience a Striper of a lifetime- after what felt like hours, landed a 51" Monster. After careful handling by Matt, and the memento pictures, we released this gorgeous specimen so it can create more to return to the Cape. We then had another round where all 5 of us caught more beautiful Stripers- 1 more keeper and rest releases. The youngsters were done and so were the adults. We called it a day an hour and half early so 1st mate Matt could make it to happy hour early. Couldn't have asked for more!!! If you're anywhere on or near the Cape- this is the boat, Capt. and Mate you want. Thanks Capt. Philip and 1st Mate Matt for the memories for my son, daughter and niece and the workouts brother in law and I got- You guys were awesome! P.S. The sushi-chef like filets Matt carved out fed our group of 16 that night, with leftovers. Will be back next year.
This fishing trip turned out to be everything we wanted (needed) it to be during this pandemic. We brought our social bubble of six aboard. Capt Phil and First Mate Matt greeted us with distance and respect, and left it up to us to remove masks when we were comfortable (underway and motoring). Once lines were out and we're fishing, it wasn't long before the "fish on" yells started among our family members as we began to catch stripped bass. Gleeful cheers on 'breaking ace' upon first catch, and then more cheers landing 'keepahs'. A special request was made for catching a bluefish, and sure enough we made that happen too. The boat was big enough for two love birds to steal away to the bow for a quiet moment of reflection. This trip fulfilled our emotional and physical need to be together as a family, and on the water doing what we love best - fishing. Thank you Lady J. We shall return soon.
Captain Phil warned seas were rough but once we got out there they had calmed enough for a really great fishing trip. Thank you Captain Phil and First Mate Chris! We had a great time and it was fun catching my first striped bass!

Captain Philip Caliri and Lady J. Sporfishing have been in the guiding business for four decades and show no signs of stopping. The Lady J. is one of the biggest fishing boats in Cape Cod Bay and is the pride and joy of Capt. Philip. He started his chartering career accidentally, as took some colleagues fishing in the Bay, when they recommended he start charging for guiding people. He loves seeing children passionate about fishing and will work hard to instill the love of the bite in young anglers. The other thing that he loves about being a charter captain is the fact that fishing has brought him many new friends – he is hoping to make new ones if you decide to drop by and go fishing with him!
