Great day on the water
6 Hour Trip on July 12, 20262 adults

My son and I went out to for his birthday. The captain was up front about the fishing conditions prior to our trip. He worked hard all day to put us on some fish. We managed to land quite a few sea bass and a fluke. It was a great experience and we will be coming back again.

Fishtastic Trip!!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 28, 20253 adults

We had a great time on our fishing trip with Captain Skip the Fish Bandit. We are from Kansas Coty and knew nothing about ocean fishing and Skip got us into an area where the sea bass were biting as soon as we dropped the lines. Skip is a great guy and made the trip a fun outing for all of us. We even caught a shark which is appropriate on the 50th anniversary of Jaws. I highly recommend Captain Skip the Fish Bandit for anyone looking for a fun day of fishing off Cape Cod.

Reported catch:
Black Seabass
Skipjack
Scup (Porgy)

Thanks very much, I love when a mom and son come on the boat. Your 11 yr old Emile can handle a fishing rod better than most. Thanks for being great people and it was enjoyable to have you aboard.

Growing up in Boston and always having a love for being on the water, it was a natural to start fishing at a young age. I went on to graduate from Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 1981, and now that I am retired, I want to share my fishing experiences with others. Book this trip now and you'll love the experience.
