Fishing Business Sportfishing will guide you throughout Cape Cod and the South Coast of Massachusetts and put you on top of the hottest bite. This family-friendly company is run and operated by two brothers, Captains Matt and Ben Maher, who were both born with a rod and reel in their hands.

They keep the boat in a trailer, which puts them at a better chance to catch fish. Your potential target will consist of anything from Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Scup to Bluefin Tuna, Sharks, Pollock, Haddock, Cod, and Tautog – some of the finest and most exciting species around.

Captain Matt and Ben run a 29’ Ocean Runner center console called the ‘Fishy Business,’ which is powered by twin 150 HP Yamaha engine. This fast boat can get you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely. She is also a seaworthy vessel with all the necessary electronics, gear, and equipment needed for a successful day on the water.

On your day out, you will be using the industry’s best tackle, which will give you the opportunity to make an outstanding catch possible. Light tackle fishing is the preferred method to get you the best fight out of a fish as possible. Your own “lucky rod” is also welcome on board but not required.

Once in a lifetime experience with our family! Dave was a great captain, took us straight to the fish, and fish were on in only a few minutes of being out there! Stripped bass and blue fish galore. We will definitely be back!

It was a wonderful family boys trip. We didn’t get on the stripers like we wished, though we ended up getting on the Sea Bass. On our way back to the harbor we ended up catching a few striper. Overall it was a great experience and we had a great time!

Caught so many fish between 30-42 inches. Lost track. We were on fish for the while 4 hour trip. Started with catching live poges and switched to top water and then trolling. Our captain was putting us on top of the fish all we had to do was bring them in the boat. Can't wait till next time.

Half Day Trip – Shared on May 21, 20242 adults
Had a great time with Matt and Peter with Fishy Business Charters. Caught striped Bass, black Seabass and Scup. First big fish in made my heart beat race for 15-20 minutes. Exciting. Their boat is on a trailer so our meeting spot accommodated us by being 20 minutes away. Worth the trip.
