For first time Boston Harbor anglers, wear layers so you can easily adapt if the weather is chilly or warm. Comfy shoes with soles that grip are helpful. We packed a small cooler with drinks & snack. Bring sunglasses and a hat. It’s a fun experience, so enjoy it!!!

Some fish are not as active in August as others and everything depends on weather and tide. Listen to your guide and follow directions and you will have a great time!

I saw FISHBUCKET and Hooked Up Sportfishing last year and got that "vibe". 5 trips w/o going home empty handed. So I suggest go with your gut, or in this case GO WITH MINE!

Listen to your captain and follow what he says. Dont be afraid to ask questions if you dont know quite what your doing.

Real family oriented fun experience for the kids as well as those who have sailed the Seven Seas. About as enjoyable as any of the many I've experienced over the years.

Don't get too hung up about specimen fishing. Go out to catch what's around at the time of year, and just enjoy it!

Fantastic fishing, even quite late in the season. Riccardo is a super skipper and the Tinacria is a great platform for a fishing trip.

Bring a hoodie and maybe pants cause the ride out and back can be a little chilly.

If you can, fish early in the week. Weekends can be very busy. We did mid week and it was perfect.
