Make some memories in Yarmouth and go fishing with Meat Wagon Fishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Chris is prepared to put you on fish.

You're likely to fish for Bluefin Tuna, Trophy Door Mat Fluke, Cod, Haddock, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Flounder, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), and more if conditions are right.
You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll be welcome aboard a 34' SeaVee center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Chris has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and offering them a 10–20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Meat Wagon Fishing Charters!

Wonderful Crew
5 Hour – Striped Bass/Bluefish (AM) on July 25, 20266 adults

We were a group of more novice anglers but the crew made us feel incredibly welcome and took care of all of us. Sadly we did not catch striped bass as we had planned but they made the day wonderful nonetheless. They took their time to teach us about the fish we were catching and made everyone feel involved and engaged. Even some of us who had never held a rod before felt more like a fisher at the end of our trip. We were able to get some fish home and have them for dinner. We plan on booking again.

A great day on the Nantucket Shoals
10 Hour – Nantucket Trophy Fluke on July 4, 20263 adults

My family travelled from suburban NYC to Yarmouth to fish with Capt. Chris and Meat Wagon Charters on the 4th of July and we weren't disappointed. Chris was a gracious host and excellent Capt., the boat was spotless, fast, smooth and clean and the gear was top notch even though we brought our own. My wife beat the fluke down with 4 between 24"-27" and even though we didn't find any monsters she got her personal best. We had rods bent all day with jumbo sea bass too so it was still a great trip even though the legendary shoals fluke weren't cooperating. Highly recommended!

Great Fishing, Great Crew!
5 Hour – Striped Bass/Bluefish (AM) on August 22, 20266 adults

The ocean was very choppy due to a storm earlier in the morning, Chris and Peter did a great job managing the boat and getting us 38” stripper! We had a great time and will definitely be back! I would recommend to anyone looking for a good time fishing with a knowledgeable captain and crew.

5 Hour – Striped Bass (Afternoon) on August 18, 20264 adults

Captain Chris was hands down the best. We caught many fish, the smallest being a 29 in striped bass. He was very kind, calm, fast and knowledgeable. We had the best time!!!
