Godspeed Charters runs angling trips out of Mashpee and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Michael is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, popping, and spinning, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 5 to 8-hour trips, you can target species like Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Tuna, Scup, Bluefish, and Little Tunny, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 28’ Whitewater boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers.

The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so, aside from Tuna over 73” caught on commercial days.

Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Godspeed Charters.

I have been fishing commercially since I was 15 years old. I started out selling bluefish off a 13 ft aluminum skiff but have since graduated to pursue larger species such as striped bass and Tuna.
