Excited to catch some fish in Winthrop? Make it happen with Boston Set The Hook Sport Fishing! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Joe knows them forwards and back.

Striped Bass, Bluefish, Skipjack Tuna, Little Tunny, Black Seabass, Haddock, and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions. You might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, or bottom fishing during the trip. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

You’ll be casting lines from a 32’ Center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 20% tip is customary to show appreciation for their hard work. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Capt. Joe welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Don’t leave home without snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Your trip with Boston Set The Hook Sport Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Great Captain,

VERIFIED

Capt Joe was great. We grabbed some baitfish first thing in the morning. Then moved around finding the fish. He put us on fish all day. He really cared about each of person. He was very thorough teaching us all about the gear, rods and technique we would be using. One of the great things i appreciate is that he is in contact all day with a bunch of other Capts wotking together to find the fish. Highly recommend Cat Joe.

Best trip ever

I had the greatest fishing experience in my life with the crew. The caught Striped Seabass, a lot of baitfish, while having a great day with lots of jumping whales as well. Besides that, the atmosphere on the boat was just great. Nice music, good talks, good jokes - Perfect! I will be back!
