Fishing Cape Cod

While my home port is Boston, I often guide anglers seeking the incredible fishing opportunities that surround Cape Cod. The waters here, from the bays to the open ocean, are incredibly diverse. We target striped bass, bluefish, false albacore, and bonito in the shallower, more protected areas, often working structure like shoals and inlets. As the season progresses, the larger tuna move into the offshore grounds, presenting a different kind of challenge. A trip focused on Cape Cod fishing means experiencing everything from sight-casting to blitzing schools of albies to battling powerful offshore tuna, all within reach of our Boston charter.
