Come abord and fish with Captain Travis. Fishing primarily out of Newburyport Ma my boat is docked at the Boat Basin located at 346 Merrimack St. I fish for Stripe Bass, Haddock, Shark and Tuna. Primarily will use live bait which we will catch during the excursion. During our time on the water it is my job to put put fish on the line and when doing so laugh a lot and create memories.

    Perfect Fishing Day!!

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing • 3 adults

    Captain Travis is the best!! My father (84), nephew (14) and I went out today and caught 3 keeper Stripers!! So challenging and fun to reel them in! Others were fishing around us but not doing what Captain Travis was doing and it didn't look like anyone else caught fish. We had so much fun! Even catching the mackerel for bait was fun. We saw 2 dolphin pods and a big sun fish. As if that weren't awesome enough, Captain Travis took us to his lobster pots and my nephew got to hook the buoys and help pull up the traps! We took home 5 keeper lobsters! We saw 3 huge females with eggs and other females and small lobsters that were thrown back. A great experience! We even got to fish in the mouth of the Merrimack river where a seal popped his head up after stealing my mackerel!! So cool! We had a truly perfect fishing day and then a really tasty dinner of fish and lobster and corn!! Doesn't get much better than that! Thank you Captain Travis!! We will definitely go out again! I wish it were tomorrow! We can't stop talking about our fabulous day!

    Great trip and Great time!

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing • 4 adults

    Captain Travis is a great guy!! Although we didn't catch any stripers, we pulled lobster traps and caught the biggest lobster we have ever seen!! (It went back to keep growing). He went the extra mile to help us catch a fish but unfortunately they didn't cooperate. I highly recommend anyone to charter with him and you will have a great time with or without the fish cooperating.

    Best Trip I’ve had in YEARS

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Travis was absolutely incredible. Very knowledgeable about the fish, went right into school after school, and if the bite slowed down, he was in touch with anyone he could to find the next one. The boat? immaculate. The equipment? in great shape. The captain? friendly, accommodating, and hilarious. Could not have asked for a better day. I would highly recommend. We will be going back as often as possible. When we need a Charter near the Salisbury area, we wont consider anyone else. Thanks from us for a great time!!!

    An absolutle Blast with Captain Travis.

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing • 4 adults

    If you are looking for an incredible fishing charter, book with Captain Travis! We just got back from an amazing trip where we reeled in some great bass. Travis is incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly where the fish are biting. More than that, he is an absolute blast to be out on the water with. He makes the entire experience so much fun from start to finish. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!!

    Great Afternoon on the Water

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing - 1:00 PM • 3 adults

    We had a great time with Capt. Travis and would highly recommend a charter with him. Striped Bass were fickle and we tried up and down in many areas. The knowlwedge of the fishing areas and experience ecentually paid off with a later afternoon early evening catch of a huge striped bass. Lots of different fish and nice time on the water.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
