Capt. Eric operates a 27’ Cobia center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Eric has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

5 Hour Trip – Striped Bass & Blues on July 28, 2024
Eric was the most exceptional captain from start to finish. Always patient with my 13 yo Son, teaching him how to catch big Boston Striper bass. So fun! He made time for bluefin tuna too, and we even got to see a whale! Highly recommend Jimmy Rig charters, as Eric knows everything you need to know to catch big fish, and has top of the line equipment for you onboard. My wife and daughter enjoyed his very smooth comfortable cruising boat as well. Looking forward to our next charter when in Boston. Cheers.

Eric, did a great job creating a fun environment and putting us on the fish. He was very knowledgeable about when and where to go to get a bite then he did a good job helping us fight the big fish as well. We caught a blue shark, a large bluefin tuna, and 3 sea bass in addition to countless bait fish.
