Fresh Boston Harbor Fishing Reports

The boat is in the water for the season and just in time. The fish are right where we left them last year! Good early season striped-bass action right in the city is just what we want to see after a long winter in Boston. Lots of good dates are still available, call text Captain Mike to get on board.

Captain Mike's son Bradley shows what he can do solo while dad decides to sleep late on this cold December morning. He clearly doesn't need dad's help to bring home the big boys! Bradley has been on board since he was 11 days old and running the Fishbucket on his own since he turned 15. Following in his Dad's footsteps he is sure to become one of the next great charter boat captains in Boston.

Thats a wrap for 2022 for the Fishbucket. Thank you to all of our clients for another great season here in Boston. It's getting colder and the leaves are falling which means it's time to put the boat away for the winter. I look forward to fishing with all of you next season. We will be starting trips around mothers day 2023 Captain Mike

If you like light tackle fishing come fishing NOW! Surface feeding schoolie striped bass are the norm and most trips are catching 30+ fish!

September is great for striped bass & bluefish inshore. It's also prime time for giant bluefin tuna & large sharks offshore.

Blitzing striped bass are everywhere. I’ve been seeing surface feeding stripers every morning and eveing this week and this bite should continue daily through to the end of the season. The next 6 weeks are the most fun time to go fishing in Boston.
