Fishing in Falmouth

Hidden away on Cape Cod’s western edge, Falmouth, MA, is the quintessential New England tourist town. Its golden beaches and pretty harbors boast access to the area’s vast sounds and stunning islands. Hop aboard one of the numerous Falmouth fishing charters and you can get in on the action, as you explore a range of beautiful, yet productive fishing grounds.

As soon as you leave the harbor, there’s a good chance you’ll find some fish. The local reefs are full of Seabass and Bluefish when the season is right. You’re also not far from the Cape Cod Canal, whose rich waterways are home to plenty of Striped Bass. Wherever you go, you’re in for a productive day, with Scup, Flounder, and Tautog always a possibility.

Summer is the peak season for fishing in Falmouth, with Bluefin Tuna and monster Sharks making for exciting offshore experiences. However, fishing goes on year-round. The south of Cape Cod boasts more liberal fishing seasons than the north, so you can go after delicious Cod, Haddock, Pollock, and Mackerel whenever you want, and get your fill of fish!

Most Falmouth fishing charters focus their attention on the nearshore waters of the reefs and sounds. Half a day is enough to land a few fish to take home, but the more adventurous among you will relish the chance to spend eight hours on the water. Meanwhile, some captains will take you offshore for up to 12 hours on what promises to be a big game adventure you’ll never forget.

Rules & Regulations

As with all of Massachusetts, Falmouth fishing charters will cover your saltwater fishing license, so there’s one less thing to worry about. Going out with an experienced guide will also ensure that you stay within all legal size and bag limits, so get ready to fill the boat!

Falmouth Fishing Seasons

January

Falmouth is one of the best places in Cape Cod to fish in January. The simple reason for this is that local charter boats still run trips in the winter. Brave the cold to target tasty food fish like Cod offshore!

February

The waters around Falmouth get pretty wild in February and watching the waves can be an activity in its own right. If the sea is too rough, you can head up to Cape Cod Canal for some respite and great rewards.

March

Things start to get going in March, as local anglers target Tautog and early-season Stripers. When the sun is shining, this can also be a great time to enjoy Martha's Vineyard without the crowds.

April

Stripers slowly start to trickle into town as April rolls on. The first few Bluefish can be caught this time of year, too. Offshore, calmer seas make for productive Cod, Haddock, and Pollock fishing.

May

May is a wonderful time to wander the seafront and take in the sights before the summer crowds arrive. Otherwise, you can enjoy world-class angling for huge Cow Stripers!

June

Falmouth's Arts Alive Festival offers great fun for all the family in June. This three-day festival includes a market of local arts and crafts, and plenty of activities to keep the kids happy alongside your fishing trip.

July

Falmouth's 4 July firework display has been voted as one of the best in the country by Travel and Leisure Magazine, so tear yourself away from the water – it'll spook all the fish, anyway.

August

August is one of the best months in terms of the sheer variety of species you can target. Stripers, Blues, Fluke, Bass, and Tautog are around inshore. Meanwhile, you have monster Sharks and huge Tuna offshore.

September

There's a lot going on in September, with the Calcutta Fishing Derby, the Annual Scallop Festival, and the Striperfest Striped Bass tournament. Grab your rod and get involved with the best on the East Coast.

October

October is one of the best times to target Bluefin Tuna in Cape Cod. Commit to the long travel times and you could be battling 250 pounds of the world's favorite fish. Sashimi anyone?

November

If you don't fancy eating turkey this year, you can head out on one of the larger Falmouth charter boats to catch tasty fish like Cod, Pollock, Haddock, and Halibut to fill the freezer for the holidays.

December

Falmouth's annual Christmas Parade defies the cold to bring seasonal cheer to locals and visitors alike. This is the largest event of its type in Cape Cod, and well worth wrapping up to go and see.

My friends and I met the Captain at the boat at 6AM. He was waiting for us and we were underway in no time. He brought us out to several locations and everyone caught fish. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We have booked another trip with him in June.

Booked a half day trip inshore with CaptJohn. It was a beautiful day, we fished inshore catching several different species, bringing home fresh fillets for the table. Capt educated us on how to entice the bite which lead to our success. Looking forward to booking Capt. John for our next trip.

Booked a trip for the 7th July looking to catch Blue Fish and the trip was awesome. Skip and Donny were great guys who know their stuff. After a slow start in the fog Skip trusted his instincts and got us to a great spot where we hooking into big blues before we knew it. Great trip and thoroughly recommend these guys. If we go again next year will certainly be looking to go with these guys.

Mom here! I wanted a charter to take me and my two younger-ish boys out to enjoy the beautiful ocean and some fishing. Captain Skip couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating. I’m sure taking a mom and two younger boys out isn’t one of the more fun scenarios, however he was patient, positive and a great coach. We learned a lot and all felt great with our catching success. We look forward to doing this again next year!

Captain Skip really took the time to know and respond to my family's thoughts for our morning charter in the Vineyard Sound. He was great with the kids (age 13 and 12) and he really worked hard to provide a great time. Great setting and a great boat and accessible location from anywhere on the Cape, Eastern Massachusetts or Rhode Island.

This fishing trip ended too soon. Skip is a fish whisperer. He designed our trip based on what fish we wanted to catch. He found the spots we needed to maximize our catch. I have already scheduled a second trip for the end of July.There are other fishing charter companies but none can provide the fishing experience that Skip can provide.

Captain Skip and first mate Donny where great! They worked hard to find the fish. Captain Skip asked a ton of questions to find out what Kind of charter we were looking for, that was great. We caught a meal of Bluefish, they took good care of the fish, and they tasted good for dinner. Mission accomplished!!! We also caught Sea Bass, Fluke, and Sand Sharks. The Bluefish where fighters, lots of fun to try and land. I would recommend going with these guys.
