This trip offers you and your guests an opportunity to hook and and land your own stripers and bluefish all while fishing in beautiful Boston Harbor and it’s islands. All while doing it in comfort and style. Captain and his mate will pull out all the stops and will use all his tricks that he has and learned in his 40yrs of fishing Boston Harbor and its ledges and islands. Depending on the sea conditions ,tides and wind usually 3-4 rods are fishing at a once.

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!

This is our most popular trip and also the first to book out. Striped bass is a highly sought-after sportfish/gamefish. Striped bass is primarily a "catch & release" fishery. Striped bass must be within the "slot" limit of 28"-31" to keep/kill, so if you are lucky enough to catch a keeper you are more than welcome to take it home to eat. This is gentlemen's fishing with a chance to bring home some fish to eat. This is not party boat fishing elbow to elbow loading coolers with dead fish.

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!

Six full hours of chasing Bass around the harbor. On Gertrude H . 3 person max unless you message me first. These trips always offer a chance for Bluefish as well. This is sport fishing for Bass, no sitting and waiting. The crew finds the fish and puts you on it. The departure time is 6:00 a.m unless otherwise discussed. I can accommodate most requests.

This trip includes all the fishing opportunities in the half day trip plus more time to catch bait and catch fish. There is more flexibility on trying multiple fishing locations, both in the river and Ipswich Bay.

7-hour trip departing at 07:00 AM targeting your preference of mackerel, striped bass, bluefish, or deep sea (haddock, cod, pollock, whiting, perch, etc.) You may choose to depart as late as 08:30 AM, with confirmation from Captain. Note that certain sunrise and early morning fishing opportunities may be missed with a later start.

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.
