    We had a great time with Trevor! He knows the area very well and has a some great fishing spots. Baiting up was honestly really fun; the mackerel basically just gave themselves to us, it was hilarious! We ended up catching 3 stripers (4th one got away right at the edge of the boat) and one of then was the biggest fish I have ever, personally, seen or caught! A great time, all in all! I highly reccomend this charter!

Fishing in Massachusetts

Massachusetts stands as a premier destination for anglers, earning its nickname 'The Codfish State' through legendary saltwater action. The coastal waters teem with massive Bluefin Tuna, ferocious Striped Bass, and hard-fighting Bluefish, while offshore grounds deliver Cod, Pollock, and Haddock year-round. Cape Cod Bay and Stellwagen Bank serve as hotspots for trophy Tuna and prolific Shark encounters, including Mako and Blue Sharks. Inshore, anglers consistently hook Flounder, Tautog, and Scup around rocky structures and estuaries.

The state's freshwater fisheries captivate with Trout-filled rivers like the Swift and Merrimack, alongside Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and landlocked Salmon in lakes such as Quabbin Reservoir. Winter transforms these waters into prime ice fishing territory for Perch and Pike. Massachusetts fishing charters offer specialized techniques—from fly fishing for Striper blitzes to deep-dropping for Cod—ensuring diverse adventures whether battling Tuna on heavy tackle or wading for Trout. With distinct seasons shaping prime opportunities, the Bay State delivers unmatched variety from Boston's harbors to the wilds of the Berkshires.

    Fun day on the water

    Beautiful weather. Sometimes the big fish aren't biting if the water is too warm (they go down deep to find the cold spots). But it is a lovely time of year for a trip!

    These Captains know what they're doing. Regardless of whether you're an avid fisherman, or completely inexperienced, let them do their job, and they'll get you on the fish. Be respectful, and take time to learn what they have to teach and you'll have a great time.

    For a half day charter, we can only go out so far. Our goal is to give our kids the excitement of catching fish. We’re not looking to reel in massive fish and we’re not pros filming a TV show. its perfect for our family with two kids under age 12.

    Amazing captain!

    Captain Jeremy was great to deal with ahead of the trip, and awesome in person on the boat. My daughter and I had a great time, even without landing any bass. We still caught a bunch of bait fish, and Jeremy tried to get us on fish multiple times. We knew we booked later in the season, so we aren't disappointed at all. I would totally recommend Captain Jeremy to anyone looking to fish Boston Harbor!

Captain Chris is very patient, skilled, and experienced. I used to think fishing was boring but damn, not anymore! We went home with 15 fish and caught a ton of black sea bass and scup. We caught our dinner and then some! Definitely coming back for seasons to come!

    John and Jeff were prompt in the morning and made us comfortable during some choppy weather! During our trip they were very informative on how to fish for certain species. John and Jeff were very easy to talk to and very uplifting and encouraging while fishing. It felt like you were just fishing with family. We bought striped bass, squid, mackerel, and had a couple big bites. It was our first time deep sea fishing and they made it memorable for sure! Thank you Capt. John and first mate Jeff!

    Biggest Fish I Ever Caught!

    We had a great time with Trevor! He knows the area very well and has a some great fishing spots. Baiting up was honestly really fun; the mackerel basically just gave themselves to us, it was hilarious! We ended up catching 3 stripers (4th one got away right at the edge of the boat) and one of then was the biggest fish I have ever, personally, seen or caught! A great time, all in all! I highly reccomend this charter!

    We had an absolute blast aboard the Lyla Rose. Roomy enough to fit 4 anglers comfortably and no problems trolling 3 lines at a time and fishing 4 lines at anchor. Captain worked incredibly hard to keep putting us on what we thought the best locations for the fish would be. Wound up with a nice catch and some good memories for the day. Captain was so easygoing and relaxed and eager to help make the charter the best it could be.
