Salem Striped Bass Fishing Charters

On this five-hour long trip, you will target Striped Bass and Bluefish that like the water to be moving. This is why Captain Scott coordinates the trip around the tide cycles. You will use light tackle gear when targeting Bass and Bluefish. Depending on the seasonality you will troll, drift, anchor, or use live bait to target the fish. They provide circle hooks to protect the fishery.

With the whole day onboard, you can head out further in search of big Haddock and Pollock, while still having time to catch huge Striped Bass closer to shore. The boat is yours for the whole day so get out there and catch some awesome fish!

Inshore trips typically target Striped Bass using light spinning and fly tackle. Other species available on inshore trips include bluefish, cod, flounder, mackerel, and pollock. Since we are rarely more than 10 minutes from fishing, many of the trips we run May - October are 8-hour inshore trips. The 8-hour trips typically run from 7:00 to 3:30ish. These are perfect for family trips, as well as for folks who want to experience the wonderful fishery we have.
