Good action on the mid morninf trip

No Matter the Time of Day or Tide

July 5, 2025

People ask what is the best time of day to fish for striped bass? I tell them any time of day and on any tide whether it be high or low. Some days the fish are biting and some days they are not. That’s why it is called fishing.

First Light Sportfishing – Rising Sun

Ocean can be a little rough in the morning. When sun comes out sea gets calmer. If you get sick take motion sickness medicine as early as you can to get in your system. Listen to your captain he is very knowledgeable and tries hard to help you catch fish.

Warm water temps kept the big fish out to sea, but for a 4 hour trip in July in the canal it is what I expected, and the captain was able to keep the fish bite going for 4 anglers the whole time.

Pack snacks & beverages. For our morning fishing trip, we should have brought more coffee & other soft drinks or water. We should have packed up some PB&J’s (or other not messy snacks)

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

Boston Fish Charters

For first-timers anywhere (never have gone fishing before, or on a boat), let the captain know what you’re looking for and set expectations and let him guide you. For those with experience but first-timers in Dennis, same as above. I imagine they all grew up there so let them take you fishing the way they go fishing. To all, it’s fishing and not fish-catching.

Dress in layers as its quite chilly when you first arrive. Wear sturdy, old shoes. Stop for restrooms before arriving at departure meeting point, if enough time. I did not need to pack as many snacks or drinks as I thought.

Made sure you pack your food and drinks. Light jackets would have been nice. It was a little chilly in the morning. But we were fine.

Sara G Charters

Not what I expected but far better. I would say have a good meal hours before going out on the water, never know what Mother Nature has planned for the day. Although there were moments when the water got rough the captain mad the experience memorable. Great time out on the water

Tuna Tail Charters Deep Sea Fishing

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!!!
