Yarmouth has a fish with your name on it, so let Mid-Cape Sportfishing help you catch it!

These waters are known for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cod, Haddock, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Bluefin Tuna, Bonito, Blue Shark, Squid, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Cole welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. Cole operates a 35' Downeast that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Mid-Cape Sportfishing and get hooked!

    Beautiful day of fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 25, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Got lucky with the weather since my wife & 3 children came. Everyone caught fish as we landed 5 stripers with 3 keepers! Capt Cole was great; talking to the kids, answering questions and putting us on the fish. Equipment was all working perfect and he got a couple tangles out very quickly. I highly recommend.

    Captain Cole put us on incredible striper fishing this morning. We caught 35+ fish and had our keeper limit with 2 hours. He was very personable and professional and certainly knows how to fish. His mate jack was very helpful. Great crew. We’re looking forward to booking soon
