Operating a 25' Latitude Tournament Boats Center console, Capt. Shaun ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and beyond. when on my own I am a fly rod angler however my clients encompass a wide range if techniques such a spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, fy fishing, and other techniques. Depending in the season or trip preference you'll catch Striped Bass, Bluefish, Black Sea Bass, and other inshore bottom fish or offshore for Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Sharks, Cod & Haddock. I grew up as a fly and light tackle trout and warm water angler from the Hudson Valley Catskills area of upstate New York before trading my 5wt for a 9wt and transitioning to salt in 2000. Started with a brief five year stint exploring the rips, rock piles, and sand bars in and around Boston Harbor, Rhode Island, North and South Shores, and Cape Cod while based out of Winthrop MA. I served as mate and co-captain with Riptide Charters from 2003 to 2019 fishing the Cape and Islands inshore, offshore and everything in between from Scup and Squid to Tuna, Mahi, and Marlin. I have contributed content, authored, or assisted with numerous fishing and boating TV, print, and digital media publications as well as engagements at some of the regions more popular seminar series, clubs, and retail venues. A marine electronics industry veteran and USCG Master, I have guided multiple Massachusetts state catch and release pin fish.

    Great time on the water with a very good Captain!

    4 Uur – Eidolon Inshore6 volwassenen

    I would definitely recommend this charter! Capt. Shaun was great from the start! He made it easy by picking us up at a rampcloser towhere we were staying. He adjusted the trip time tofit our schedule and more importantly he put us in fish right off the bat! we found soe brds with Boito boiling under them and hooked up right away. We evenually had 4 Bnito on and landed 2. then when that bite slowed down we went loking for stripers. They weret cooperating ao we kept movingtryingntofind the fish. Capt. Saun kept us out exra time past the agreed upon charter and fileted our catch before bringing us back to shore. He was very knowledgable and super easy to talk too. 5 Stars!

    stripers and sea bass, mission accomplished

    4 Uur – Eidolon Inshore2 volwassenen

    Had a perfect trip with captain Shaun and Eidolon Sport Fishing. When I booked the trip I told him we would like some black sea bass for the table and whatever else could give us some action. We headed straight for striped bass and had no trouble checking that box, catching several fish in and above slot size. Rounded out the trip with some bottom bouncing to put some black sea bass in the cooler. Captain Shaun was very knowledgeable, fun to be in tbe boat with, and enthusiastic about what he does. Highly recommended.

    Memories of a lifetime

    4 Uur – Eidolon Inshore6 volwassenen3 kinderen

    Our trip was an amzing experience! I have been on a few different chaters and this experience was perfect. From pick up to drop off, lots of laughter, smiles and great memories. We had 2 young kids that were first timers. Capitan Shaun was amazing with them, very attentive and very knowledgeable. With the season change Captain Shaun made sure each of us brought home some keepers. We highly recommend Eidolon Sport Fishing and will be back in the future.

    My family and I had a great time with Captain Shaun and he was super knowledgeable on where to get a good fishing spot. We almost caught our limit of really nice black sea bass, and I highly recommend Captain Shaun for anyone looking to have a good fishing trip!

Calm Backwaters still producing!

mei 27, 2026 • Barnstable
Want to stay in calmer water? Cape estuaries are still full of bigger Bass. This wont last much longer before the water heats up, herring return to the ocean, and smaller fish take over.

Striped Bass Going Strong!

mei 23, 2026 • Barnstable
Cape Cod season is off to a great start! Lots of 30-40” class fish on the beaches, out in open water, and up in the estuaries. Can catch them any way you want, fly, spin, live bait etc. Every trip has produced personal bests for the group. Dates are running out so get in while the getting is good.

Squid ramped up!!

apr. 30, 2026 • Barnstable
It’s go time!! The squid bite on the south Cape went from slow pick to filling a 5 gallon bucket in a matter of 2 to 3 days. If you have any interest in squid, now it’s the time before they spawn out and go back off shore as we get close to the new moon cycle.

Squid time!!!

apr. 25, 2026 • Barnstable
Early scouts are showing up, draggers are working in full force. Got a few today out of some bigger schools washing through on Livescope. Things should ramp up quickly through the week. If you want to get out for squid now is the time to get on the calendar! Day and night trips available.
