Loved our AM Striper trip with Capn Russ this morning, hooked up a slot fish early then things got quiet, he moved us all along the rips of Monomoy and finally got into them again and we got our limit, wonderful day, knowledgible local captain with a good boat for up to 4 fisherman, thanks for working hard to find our fish, will be back!
Despite rocky seas, Captain Russell put us on the fish and was expert in navigating our way! Can’t say enough about our afternoon adventure and the professionalism of Captain Russell! we will be back!

We caught a bunch of striped bass (7 or 8) and kept the maximum per person allowed. It was more than enough to feed our 10 person wedding the next day! Capt Russ was great. Knew all the right spots. Used all the right bait. Was prompt, friendly, and a cool dude. If I come back to chatham or this part of the cape, I wouldn’t go out with anyone but Capt Russ

Captain Russell took out the family and we all couldn’t ask for more. Caught some stripers off of Monomoy. Hook up with the Liveliner, the next time you want big fish off of Chatham.
Great time with Capt. Russell. Family’s first time was a great success. Caught some bluefish and took home some fillets to top it off! Will be back for more
