Gloucester Flounder Fishing Charters

This trip will see you fishing for various Shark species offshore.

Want to spend the morning 12 miles offshore? Grab the rod and join Captain Nick on this 5-hour adventure! He'll take you after Haddock, Cod, Rockfish, Cusk, and Pollack. He loves seeing people catch fish, and will help you find the spot where hard reeling is a must. Grab your equipment or use the tackle he provides! The first mate works hard to make your trip enjoyable and as such, a 20% gratuity for him will be added onto the final balance.

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.

This is a full day, 8 hour trip, be sure to bring a lunch. You'll start your day fishing for bait like mackerel. You'll target Stripers and Bluefish using several techniques like live bait drifting, slow trolling, casting to blitzing fish, and more. Flounder is also an option on this trip in springtime. *Striped bass must be within the "slot" limit of 28"-31" to keep, so if you are lucky enough to catch a keeper, you are more than welcome to take it home to eat.

This trip is perfect for the whole family! You'll travel from the quiet backwaters into the deep ocean to target a range of various inshore and offshore species. Your targets include Bluefish, Flounder, Atlantic Mackerel, Striped Bass, Haddock, Pollock, Sharks, and even the prestigious Bluefin Tuna! You can also combine lobstering, beach parties, island tours, and extended sightseeing trips as a part of this excursion. Just let the captain know and he'll make it happen!

Go after the strongest fish in the ocean and fulfill a lifelong dream. Fighting these giants is a lot of work a lot of time and a lot of fun! Additionally, we occasionally hook up to large species of Shark and see whales. The trip starts early in the morning, this is a long day of fishing. Plan on 10+ hours – trips have gone from before sun up to after sunset. We usually hook up with fish in the 300-1000lb category.

On this trip, you will target Striped Bass. You will fish mainly using live Mackerel that you catch at the beginning of the trip. Trolling is also another option that has proven successful. These fish put up a tremendous fight and are also great on the grill. The captain offers this trip to all experience levels and encourages new anglers to come out and enjoy a day on the water with the crew.

Five hour inshore fishing within the Salem Sound. 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. This trip is seasonal.

Inshore or offshore. You pick!

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.
