Ready to cast a line in Dennis? First Light Sportfishing is here to make it happen! Your guide for the day on the Rising Sun is Captain Jason Perry.

Jason is a graduate of the Chapman School of Seamanship as well as the International Yacht Restoration School. Jason has honed his skills as a mate and operator on many of the local charter boats and his experience and knowledge is sure to provide you with a fantastic day on the water.

Species like Striped Bass, Bluefin Tuna, Flounder, Bluefish, Haddock, Cod, and more could be biting if conditions are right. On these trips, you can expect to troll or bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Jason runs a 32' EdgeWater center console powered with brand new 300 hp. Yamaha outboards. There is plenty of space for 6 passengers to fish and or lounge. It is equipped with the latest in electronics and safety equipment as well as outriggers, and all the essentials. There's a clean comfortable bathroom on board for your convenience.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 15–20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Just bring whatever you would like to eat or drink and clothing appropriate for the weather. Alcohol is allowed in moderation

Another bullseye with Jason and Mason. This was our second year in a row with Capt Jason. These guys smoked it. We had 8 Monster bass on this trip and our 3 boys (13, 10, and 8) came home loving life with huge smiles! Thanks Gents!
