    Offshore fishing for giant tuna and sharks. With a variety of fish to catch for the table as well. It's a long ride but battling a 90-inch tuna or a 300-pound porbeagle shark is a fish of a lifetime. Whales are usually around. This trip always comes with a deckhand. Weather must be perfect as fishing offshore 30 miles is not something 'I' the captain take lightly. Bass Fishing can always be substituted as inshore fishing we can fish in choppy weather. Trip Price would be reduced to a bass trip.

Cod fishing in Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States draws anglers to classic New England waters. Atlantic Cod are prized Groundfish with firm, white meat and a steady fight. Plymouth sits on the edge of Cape Cod Bay, so boats reach productive Cod grounds fast.

Captains target Cod by bottom fishing and jigging over deep structure. Bottom fishing means dropping bait, like clams or squid, to the seafloor and waiting for a bite. Jigging uses heavy metal lures that you lift and drop to trigger strikes. Tackle is stout but simple, with braid, leader, and sinkers to hold bottom.

Most trips head offshore to deeper water, where currents and rocky bottom hold fish. Charters welcome beginners and families, and crews coach you through every step. Quality rods, reels, and bait are usually included, and the crew can clean your catch. Wear layers, non-marking shoes, and bring sun protection, snacks, and motion sickness medicine if needed. A cooler in your car is helpful for fillets after the trip.

Before you go, check local fishing license and permit rules for saltwater anglers. Seasons, harvest limits, and protected areas can change during the year. Your captain will follow current regulations, but each angler should review the latest rules before the trip.

    Big Fish with Capt. Vinny!

    Capt. Vinny was great! We used top-of-the-line gear, and he took us right to the fish. Took a long run to P-Town, and caught 10 striper in total including my PB at just over 40 inches. We also caught 2 slot fish that Vinny fileted for us at the dock. Would totally recommend Capt. Vinny!

    We had a fantastic day with Captain Vinny. He got us on the fish early, and we limited out on keeper striped bass.
