Strike 2 Fishing Charters offers to take you on a fishing trip full of fun and fish. Come visit Fairhaven, Massachusetts and embark on your next sea journey together with Captain Bruce Calvin. He’s a friendly and experienced angler who’ll take you to the best spots and help you return with a good catch. Pick your day and enjoy fishing in Fairhaven.

The boat you’ll be fishing from is a restored 30’ Black Watch saltwater fishing boat big enough to sit up to 6 guests. It runs on twin 250 HP Cummins 6BTA 5.9 engines and has got full-featured navigation electronics to keep you on the course. The boat’s got a flybridge and a portable toilet and is equipped with outriggers, downriggers, and a livewell. It’s also got an ice-box and a refrigerator to store your fish and food. In case you need any help, there’s a first mate you can turn to.

The inshore and offshore waters of Fairhaven offer you plenty of fish to catch. The species you can chase include Bigeye, Bluefin, and Yellowfin Tuna, Flounder, Scup, as well as Mako, Thresher, and Blue Shark. Using light and heavy tackle, you can attract them by bottom and deeps fishing, trolling, spinning, and drift fishing. If you want to, you can keep the fish you catch, and you’re also free to bring kids on your trip.

Captain Bruce covers you for all the fishing gear, frozen bait, lures, and fishing licenses. Also, he’ll clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost. Bring only your snacks and drinks for the trip.

Come fish with Strike 2 Fishing Charters and have a great experience in Fairhaven!
