Excited to cast a line in Boston? Make it happen, with Bay State Sportfishing! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Ronnie can tell you all about the local fishery.

Striped Bass, Haddock, Bluefish, Thresher Shark, Atlantic Mackerel, Flounder, Bluefin Tuna, Porbeagle Shark, Cod, Pollock, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go.

You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Ronnie also offers kite fishing.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 27' Ocean Runner center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Ronnie will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Bay State Sportfishing!

Captain Ronnie is an avid angler with a quarter-century of fishing experience. His brother was the one that got him hooked on fishing, and now Ronnie's keeping it in the family, with his 28 year-old son, Captain Leo following in his footsteps, also his younger 25 year old son is one of the best mates in the harbor ! Capt Tonnie been running charters for the past 27 years and is only getting better and more experienced with each year. Captain's specialty is fishing for Striped Bass, and his biggest ever catch was a giant Bluefin Tuna, that weighed 701 lb and took over 3 hours to reel in.
