Top Notch!
12- hour offshore 4-person max on July 17, 20264 adults

I can’t recommend this trip enough! The guys had an absolutely incredible time from start to finish. They were catching fish nonstop and couldn’t stop talking about what an amazing day they had. Everything exceeded their expectations—from the experience itself to the overall atmosphere. They had such a great time that they’re already planning booking again for next year. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing trip, this is it. Thank you for giving them such a fantastic experience—we’ll definitely be back!

Response from Captain

Thank you for the wonderful review Melissa! It was great having the boys offshore with us for the day and we're glad they all had a great time. We also look forward to fishing with you all again soon. Captain Mike, Captain Brad & Danny

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM) on July 26, 20266 adults

We had a great trip. Capt.Mike was great about keeping us moving to populated areas. Our first mate, Dan, was well skilled and knowledgeable about getting us set up with our rods and was very encouraging as we reeled in our fish(we all caught Stripers). I had my beau and my 18 and 20 year old sons on the trip. I know it’s a trip we’ll all remember. I’d do this trip again 10/10!

Reported catch:
Striped Bass
Response from Captain

Another fantastic family trip!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM) on July 18, 20262 adults

Rain and wildfire smoke could not ruin this amazing trip with Captain Mike and Danny for my 11 year olds’ bday. They are both so knowledgeable, kind and patient. Captain Mike went through every single gear and control on his boat with my engine obsessed 13 year old. We caught plenty of striped bass including one monster 40 inch one caught by the bday boy himself. 10/10.

Reported catch:
Striped Bass
Response from Captain

Thank you again Sarah for the awesome review and the pics as well. It was great to have you and your beautiful family with us fishing again and as always, we hope to see you again! Captain Mike & Danny

Great trip!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM) on June 21, 20264 adults

We had an awesome time on the Fishbucket. Booked a four hour trip for Father’s Day. Captain Mike and First Mate Danny clearly know their fish, good spots, technique. We are mostly novices but they helped our whole family make sure everyone reeled in their own fish. We caught 5 stripers (one keeper) on an afternoon trip when our expectations for catching anything weren’t super high. But they made sure it happened. Great fun. Beautiful day out on the harbor. They took care of absolutely everything. Excellent trip!

Reported catch:
Striped Bass
Response from Captain

Great Striper Experience!
6 Hour Trip – Inshore (6AM) on August 6, 20264 adults

Captain Brad and his first mate Chris were awesome. The fish were not biting as well as they could have, but since these guys know their stuff, all 3 of us caught a nice striped bass. Largest one was about 30 pounds! If I find myself in Boston again I will go with Fishbucket

Response from Captain

Thank you for the great review John, we appreciate that. Thanks for choosing us for your Boston fishing charter and thanks for the great pic also. We sure hope to see you again. Captain Mike, Captain Brad & Chris.
