Captain
Alex Mccullough

Member since June 2024 Marblehead, United States
Background
Capt. Alex runs trips out of Marblehead aboard 23' Sea Hunt Center console. The crew will demonstrate techniques such as bottom fishing, spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, fly fishing, or something unique to the area. For special requests, such as spearfishing, message Capt. Alex.
Techniques
I fish from a 24-foot Sea Hunt with a 225hp four-stroke engine, the boat fits 10-12 people. There is plenty of space for bags onboard and a small toilet (head) in the console of the boat. The boat is equipped with plenty of safety equipment we have 8 life jackets, 2 throwable PFDs, flares, a fog horn, and other safety equipment, I am also a lifeguard and know CPR. 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. I also have lobster traps that we could check as part of a trip. We are rarely more than 15 minutes from fishing. There is the possibility of Offshore fishing trips that target Bluefin Tuna, Sharks, groundfish, or Whale watching, and require a longer run "offshore". These trips typically require leaving the dock a bit earlier due to a 45 – 60 minute run to the fishing grounds and they are slightly more dependent upon favorable weather patterns. Offshore fishing trips are usually between 6-10 hours and tend to cost more.
