North Shore Anglers - Miss Sambvca 

What an amazing day on the water! The weather was beautiful, and my two sons had an absolute blast. We started the trip catching mackerel for bait, then headed out to target striped bass. Captain Frank and Jayden were both incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the fish. Captain Frank took the time to explain how the sonar system works, which my kids found fascinating, and he also shared the history of Ten Pound Island, making the trip educational as well as fun. A special shoutout to Jayden, who was patient, friendly, and great with kids. He spent time teaching my 11-year-old son fishing techniques and made sure he felt involved throughout the trip. We ended up catching five striped bass in total. Two were oversized and had to be released, but that only added to the excitement of the experience. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing charter with a knowledgeable crew that genuinely enjoys sharing their passion for fishing, I highly recommend Captain Frank and Jayden. We created memories that will last a lifetime! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Booked a last-minute Father’s Day weekend trip and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Frank is laid back, knowledgeable, and knows the area well. We jigged mackerel for bait and live-lined them for stripers—ended up landing some nice fish, including a couple of slots for the grill. If you’re looking for a fun trip and professional guide, look no further. Highly recommend!

It was a pretty nice fishing trip with family and friends. The weather was lovely and the boat was clean and smooth. Captain Frank took us ~ 5 miles off the dock, and I had my first luck to catch a cod. It is a good cod but unfortunately not in season and had to let go. Then Captain Frank took us to couple of places, and we got quite a lot of mackerels in different sizes. Sometimes I got 4 at a time. That was a blast to me, and I became ambitious trying to get more varieties of fish. Silence came after my ambition, unfortunately. We then headed back close to the shore, and used mackerels as baits to fish sea bass. Still quite a while of silence, and time was almost up. Surprise came without a sign, my friend noticed something on the hook, but unfortunately it was gone while we tried to pull it up. It came a second chance we got a good size striped sea bass, and called it a day. Overall it was a pretty nice trip, and I do hope Captain Frank can take us for another trip and get us more variety of fish and more big ones, like one for each members onboard :)

Captain Jaidyn was so good to my kids! He was able to get all 3 of my boys a fish of their own to catch! Then my oldest caught a HUGE Striped Bass. Jaidyn’s reaction made the trip even more fun, Jaidyn claimed it was the buggest Bass he’s ever caught. Estimated 48” and 50lbs. We highly recommend this fishing charter!

This was a great experience! Frank was very good. My family were able to see Frank’s lobster cages, which made the trip even cooler! We’re definitely planning to book another trip in the future. I recommend booking with North Shore Anglers if you’re looking to do some fishing, and see the ocean.

Going fishing on Stellwagon Bank with experienced Bostonian fishermen is an experience of a lifetime. Even if you don’t catch big tuna, the experience is memorable, the rich marine life is stunning and the location is quite unique and vibrant. Everyone should do this at least once.

Had a couple of friends over from the United Kingdom booked a fishing trip for six with North Shore Anglers - Miss Sambvca with Captain Frank and First Mate John fishing for Striped Bass. We had a fantastic day, first fishing for baitfish (mackerel) then onto the Stripers. John was great getting us all set up explaining technique and bait placement, we were soon all fishing with high expectations of catching large Stripers, initially caught a few 15 to 25 inchers then bang into a 34, 33 and then a 32 incher, amazing. In total, the group caught 24 bass. Frank is very knowledgeable about these waters and a pro fisher, taking us to several locations to give us the best fishing experience. Frank and John were very personable, weather was great, few beers to celebrate and John filleted our catch, leaving the skin on ready for BBQ. Wow what a day, worth every penny. On returning home continued the day by having beers and a BBQ, the fish was to die for. As with the other reviews, highly recommend a day fishing with Captain Frank and First Mate John, what a Team. Thank you Guys :-)

Captain Frank and First Mate John worked hard to make our fishing trip a success--changing up our locations so that we ultimately could land some keepers. They brought an easy, comfortable attitude (rather than the bossy approach some boat captains bring) which made it more enjoyable. Frank is clearly a pro and it was awesome to see his knowledge of the water and the fish in action. We would have appreciated a little upfront coaching which might have prevented a snag or two, and perhaps helped in landing an additional keeper as well as an opportunity to try casting ourselves. We will know more about asking for this coaching next time. I highly recommend a day with Captain Frank!

Captain Frank and First Mate John are great. They gave special attention to our grandson. They are personable and engaging. The boat is comfortable with enough room for our family. Our family had a great time. We will do it again.

We had a great trip on the miss sambvca. Captain Frank and first mate were patient, helpful and informative. We had a group of 5 with only one member of our party having fishing experience, we were able to catch a dozen fish, 5 of which we were able to keep! I would highly recommend chartering the miss sambvca and will most likely do it again in the future!
