Let Bay State Sportfishing (Boston Harbor Charters) organize your fishing trip and get a taste of what Massachusetts inshore angling has to offer you. Captain Ronnie has 25 years of experience, so you’ll hardly find a better guide to take you on new fishing quests.

Choose a half day or a full day trip and come aboard a 33’ Downeast boat, powered by a 530 FPT (Iveco) engine. The vessel can take up to 6 persons to the secret fish hideouts of Quincy, and beyond. She is loaded with all the comforts of home including a full head with shower, AC/heating, generator, refrigerator, coffee maker, a microwave, stereo, and plenty of seating inside the cabin.

On 8-hour trips, you will get out of the harbor, and go as far as 25 miles from the shore. You will catch live bait along the way, which will later help you to catch some big fish like Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Flounder.

Shorter trips are reserved for reeling in smaller fish, and you will also stay within harbor walls, which is perfect if you can’t dedicate an entire day to fishing.

Capt. Ronnie has first-rate rods, reels, and tackle you need, including brands like Daiwa and Shimano. Most of the rods are custom-built and will be your trusty ally in reeling in massive fish. The first mate will also make sure that you’re prepped and ready to hook your next great catch, and he works for tips, so 20% gratuity is expected and appreciated.

Novices, families with kids, experienced anglers — everybody is welcome on Baystate Sportfishing LLC. The captain will gladly share stories and a few laughs with you so that you’re not just fishing but also having a great time. Please note drugs are not permitted onboard and while alcohol is allowed, the captain may choose to end the trip early if anyone gets too inebriated.

Experience inshore fishing in a new and exciting light with Capt. Ronnie and Baystate Sportfishing LLC!

**The number of people allowed is 6 GUESTS MAX**

Awesome day on the Water.
6 Hour Trip - Inshore on June 22, 20256 adults
My brother and our sons had an awesome day on the water. Capt Leo and crew have the local knowledge and expertise to make our experience one that will not be forgotten. Started catching right from the start. Though it was an afternoon trip, we landed 4 stripers. 3 were keepers, the 4th was too big! And was released. Leo and Ron were are professionals and personable, excellent at communicating with us prior to the trip, and all through the outing! You’ll have a great day on the KALM ideas!!

Incredible Trip!
4 Hour Trip - Inshore on July 5, 20256 adults
Our time out on the water fishing for stripers in Boston Harbor with Capt. Ronnie and first mate were fantastic! Thank you for setting up our family of 5 with an amazing and successful afternoon yesterday. We each caught fish within the slot limit and will have at least one on the grill this afternoon. You guys topped off our July 4th weekend! Thank you again Capt. Ronnie!
