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!
