Fishy Business Sportfishing – 25'

Bourne has a fish with your name on it, so let Fishy Business Sportfishing help you catch it!

These waters are known for Bluefin Tuna, Haddock, Yellowfin Tuna, Cod, Tautog, Black Seabass, Bonito, Striped Bass, Albacore Tuna, Bluefish, Flounder, Scup (Porgy), and more – with any luck, it won’t take long to hook into some. You’ll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Captains Matt and Ben can also show you kite fishing.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 25’ Contender center console that can carry up to 5 passengers. It has outriggers and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn’t you rather be fishing with Fishy Business Sportfishing?

    Tuna trips are always a early departure to ensure we get to the tuna grounds for the sunrise bite! We run two types of tuna trips. 1. Run and gun style trip where spinning gear tackle is used for jigging or popping for recreational sized tuna (45-72 inches). 2. Catching a fish of a lifetime targeting Giant Bluefin Tuna (73-120 inches) on heavy tackle using live bait, trolling or dead bait. Both trips can be one of the best days of your life when you hear the drag rip off the reels. The tug is the drug!!

Growing up, Captain Matt spent his summers on the water. Sport- and commercial fishing has been part of his family for over half a century. Matt was first introduced to the art of fishing by his grandfather and father, who would take him and his brother out fishing every chance they could wether it was casting from the dock in front of their grandparent’s house or on a boat. Both brothers spent the past 15 years commercial and charter fishing, which has given them great knowledge of the waters of the Cape and South Coast. From April to October, they can be found fishing all over the Massachusetts coastline.
