    Great Striper trip out out Stage Harbor, Chatham with Capt Russ of Liveliner Sportfishing

    Loved our AM Striper trip with Capn Russ this morning, hooked up a slot fish early then things got quiet, he moved us all along the rips of Monomoy and finally got into them again and we got our limit, wonderful day, knowledgible local captain with a good boat for up to 4 fisherman, thanks for working hard to find our fish, will be back!

    Caught Enough to Feed a Wedding!

    4 Hour Charter • 5 adults

    We caught a bunch of striped bass (7 or 8) and kept the maximum per person allowed. It was more than enough to feed our 10 person wedding the next day! Capt Russ was great. Knew all the right spots. Used all the right bait. Was prompt, friendly, and a cool dude. If I come back to chatham or this part of the cape, I wouldn’t go out with anyone but Capt Russ

    A very inclusive Captain!

    3 Hour Charter • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Russell was incredibly accommodating and accepting of our oldest daughter who is blind. We all caught a fish, mainly striped bass and our oldest daughter caught a bluefish! It was our first time deep sea fishing as a family and we would definitely come back again!

What's biting with Liveliner Sportfishing in Chatham

October is the last big push to catch that fish of the season. The Tuna bite is on fire, the Sharks are getting ready to leave, and the last big Stripers are being caught along the coastline.
