No Matter the Time of Day or Tide

Jul 5, 2025 Salem

People ask what is the best time of day to fish for striped bass? I tell them any time of day and on any tide whether it be high or low. Some days the fish are biting and some days they are not. That’s why it is called fishing.

5 Hour Trip Offshore (7AM) $750

Me and two of my friends booked the 5-hour Inshore Trip. Shortly after leaving the dock, they were able find the mackerel. We were catching 5 at a time and were able to quickly load up for bait. We then left to find the stripers which did not disappoint. Within 5 mins, my buddy caught a slot size fish. We caught 5 in total all slot to over slot size fish. Thanks for a great trip! My friends and I are already talking about booking again next year!

Unforgettable Haddock Fishing Trip at Stellwagen Bank!

VERIFIED

What an absolutely incredible day out on the water! If you’re looking for a top-tier fishing experience, look no further than a haddock trip around Stellwagen Bank. From start to finish, this was one of the best fishing adventures I’ve ever had. We were pulling in fish non-stop—haddock after haddock, with plenty of action all day long. The crew knew exactly where to go, and they put us right on the fish. It wasn’t just luck—it was clear these folks know the waters like the back... More

Mark, Captain Paul and I, enjoyed spending the day with you and Glenn tremendously. The weather was great, the fishing was wonderful, and we were able to share a few key techniques that had all of us hooking up and continually bringing fish onto the boat. The overall light-hearted humor and goofing around helped make the day a big plus. We look forward to seeing you guys on striped bass trips, tuna trips, and more haddock trips. Thank you for your five star review. Captain Tim

Capt. Paul was a great kid and very experienced.He didn’t mind our inexperience! Within minutes of getting to our first spot we filled the bait tank with mackerel which we pulled up 5 at a time! A quick ride to the next spot put us right on the Stripers and with his help got our limit and had a great fish dinner that night on the grill!!!!!

Michael thank you for your five star review and we are glad you had a good luck day of fishing for striped bass. Your positive and upbeat attitude of whether or not you caught fish was heartfelt and very much appreciated. Any day out on the boat is a good day. Glad the fish were cooperating.

captain Paul was friendly and competent. Despite being complete novices my daughter, wife and I caught 40 mackerel and then I caught a large striper towards the end of the season. Great communication leading up to the event. And what a sunset.

We went out for a quick 4-hour trip with Captain Paul at the end of August. My kids had a blast and we caught two of the biggest stripers I’ve ever seen. Wish we had done a full day. This was the perfect end-of-summer trip. We will absolutely be back.
