What anglers said about fishing in Massachusetts

Our experience was excellent; the fishing, I'd say, was good. The time of year was not particularly determinative -- probably the after-effects of Hurricane Erin had more to do with what was biting.

We like the 3 hour inshore trip. Normally we pick a late morning slot but I think the best bet might be the earliest morning slots. With an outgoing tide.

Fishing is a day of gambling. Some days you win, others not so much. Today was a mixed day. Mackerel were plenty and fun catching, Striped Bass not so much. Newburyport has many areas to catch that prize fish, with the availability to be there.

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!

Make sure you arrange to pay in full through Fishing Booker before the day of the charter, because Andrew can't accept credit cards on board (despite the advice from Fishing Booker). Or pay in cash or via Paypal aboard.

Water was a bit rough and unpredictable- go with a larger boat as the smaller charters needed to cancel

Booking with Captain Wayne in Dennis was great. He and his first mate were very friendly and gave us easy to understand directions to catch fish. And we did – lots of great striped bass in the boat! Great location – and great opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy the Cape!

Fishing in July was great for Stripers. The blue fish were late this year. If your looking to end the day fishing for fluke, go earlier in the year

Bring snacks, sunscreen & sunglasses and maybe do some arm workouts beforehand. The fish don't mess around and are sometimes tough to reel in if they want to put up a good fight, which they usually do.

Better off going when the strippers are rolling and top water if you can plan it. It is more fun fishing. If they are on the bottom, the jigging is a lot more work and not as active.
