Growing up, Captain Matt and Captain Ben spent his summers on the water. Sport- and commercial fishing has been part of his family for over half a century. Matt was first introduced to the art of fishing by his grandfather and father, who would take him and his brother out fishing every chance they could wether it was casting from the dock in front of their grandparent's house or on a boat. Both brothers spent the past 15 years commercial and charter fishing, which has given them great knowledge of the waters of the Cape and South Coast. From April to October, they can be found fishing all over the Massachusetts coastline.

    Once in a lifetime experience with our family! Dave was a great captain, took us straight to the fish, and fish were on in only a few minutes of being out there! Stripped bass and blue fish galore. We will definitely be back!

    Awesome morning. Book this trip

    Shared (4hr) • 2 adults

    Caught so many fish between 30-42 inches. Lost track. We were on fish for the while 4 hour trip. Started with catching live poges and switched to top water and then trolling. Our captain was putting us on top of the fish all we had to do was bring them in the boat. Can't wait till next time.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
    Scup (Porgy)

    Caught our Fill

    Half Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    Had a great time with Matt and Peter with Fishy Business Charters. Caught striped Bass, black Seabass and Scup. First big fish in made my heart beat race for 15-20 minutes. Exciting. Their boat is on a trailer so our meeting spot accommodated us by being 20 minutes away. Worth the trip.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you very much!! Glad you guys had a great trip with us. Hope to see you again soon!

    It was a wonderful family boys trip. We didn’t get on the stripers like we wished, though we ended up getting on the Sea Bass. On our way back to the harbor we ended up catching a few striper. Overall it was a great experience and we had a great time!

    My friend and I had a blast fishing with Matt! We caught 50 Tautog during our 4 hour trip. I would highly recommend Matt (Fishy Business Sportsfishing) for your next Cape Cod fishing excursion.

    What a fun day on the water! Capt Ben was patient, kind and totally gets kids! He explained fishing equipment, sonar and strategy to them and they had as much fun chasing mackerel on the deck as catching stripers!
