    A great day on the Nantucket Shoals

    10 Hour – Nantucket Trophy Fluke • 3 adults

    My family travelled from suburban NYC to Yarmouth to fish with Capt. Chris and Meat Wagon Charters on the 4th of July and we weren't disappointed. Chris was a gracious host and excellent Capt., the boat was spotless, fast, smooth and clean and the gear was top notch even though we brought our own. My wife beat the fluke down with 4 between 24"-27" and even though we didn't find any monsters she got her personal best. We had rods bent all day with jumbo sea bass too so it was still a great trip even though the legendary shoals fluke weren't cooperating. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful Crew

    5 Hour – Striped Bass/Bluefish (AM) • 6 adults

    We were a group of more novice anglers but the crew made us feel incredibly welcome and took care of all of us. Sadly we did not catch striped bass as we had planned but they made the day wonderful nonetheless. They took their time to teach us about the fish we were catching and made everyone feel involved and engaged. Even some of us who had never held a rod before felt more like a fisher at the end of our trip. We were able to get some fish home and have them for dinner. We plan on booking again.

    Great Fishing, Great Crew!

    5 Hour – Striped Bass/Bluefish (AM) • 6 adults

    The ocean was very choppy due to a storm earlier in the morning, Chris and Peter did a great job managing the boat and getting us 38” stripper! We had a great time and will definitely be back! I would recommend to anyone looking for a good time fishing with a knowledgeable captain and crew.
