6 Hour Trip – Inshore (6AM)
We caught an 800 lb bluefin tuna!!!
We have been fishing for around 10 years, and we can say with confidence that this was the best fishing trip we have ever gone on. The day started off early, the captain and the mate were very friendly and helpful. We got to the fishing spot and started catching some bait, they helped us unhook them and put them in the bait tank. After that we put some mackerel out and waited for a bite, we even used a kite. After that we switched to the captains special spot, where he said something happened every time he went there. After a half hour wait, we saw a giant fish staring at the bait on the radar and capt Brad started reeling in one of our baits because he knew that we had a fish on. After 2 hours of fighting the fish, we finally landed the 800 pounder. We got it into the boat, took some photos then the mate and capt gutted and put ice in the fish. We then got back to shore and weighed the fish and sold it. The capt and mate were so helpful the entire trip. What a great day of fishing!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM)
Fun family experience catching striped bass!
What an incredible afternoon! The day was cloudy with light rain before boarding the Fishbucket at 1pm in Boston Harbor… that provided the comfortable setting of minimal boaters out in the Boston Harbor area. The Fishbucket has great electronics to monitor where the fish are swimming, which gave us the resources to reel in 10 striped bass during our 4 hour journey (we kept 2, and released the others back to the sea). Captain Mike and Danny went out before our trip and caught an abundant supply of mackerel, so we had great results with live bait. They made every effort to give our family a successful fishing adventure! Our 12 year old son was loving the experience, and the first mate Danny went above and beyond to provide instruction and tips that proved successful. After the trip, we cooked our fish for dinner and it was fantastic. Our son was beaming with joy during the trip, and we hope to go again on the Fishbucket. Also want to note that the boat has plenty of space to easily move around, there is covered space, a bathroom, and Capt. Mike turned on the heat to keep us warm as we went out of the harbor. If you are seeking a 4 hour afternoon fishing trip with beautiful views of Boston Harbor on a boat with comfortable amenities, highly recommend Captain Mike and The Fishbucket!!!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore (6AM)
Awesome 6 hour trip!
Our family of 5 had an awesome time with Capt Mike and First Mate Danny! They took us right to the fish and we had one on the line within 25 minutes! They knew exactly where to go and what bait/lure to use. Highly recommend them to anyone wanting to do a fishing trip while in Boston!

I purposely booked this trip on the FISHBUCKET to celebrate my 1st Union Pension Check 🇺🇸 Caught my PB striper on live bait, light tackle within a half a flower! Then a couple slots before and after the top of the tide, with Capt. Brad literally calling "GAME" on the latter. 😎

6 Hour Trip – Inshore (6AM)
Fishbucket Sept 19
Our small construction company organized a fishing trip for five colleagues on the Fishbucket, departing from Boston dock at 6am. By 7am, Captain Bradley expertly guided us to the optimal fishing spot, resulting in two catches. Chris, the experienced First Mate, efficiently set up lines, baited rods, and assisted with landing fish. Captain Bradley demonstrated exceptional knowledge of fishing locations, adapting to changes in the bite throughout the morning. Everyone on board successfully caught fish, with multiple double hookups and individual catches. The teamwork and hospitality displayed by Captain Bradley and Chris ensured a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience. We extend our gratitude to both & Highly Recommend the "Fishbucket Sportfishing"
