Fishing Chatham
Fishing out of Chatham, you're positioned at the elbow of Cape Cod, with access to diverse fishing grounds. We can explore the rip tides and shoals of the Outer Cape, the calmer waters of Pleasant Bay, or venture offshore. Striped bass are a primary target here, especially during their migrations in spring and fall. We also encounter bluefish and the exciting false albacore runs that can light up the surface. The black sea bass fishing is also excellent on the structure found closer to shore. Trips from Chatham can involve chasing blitzing fish on the surface or working structure for larger bass and tautog. It’s a prime location for a full day of fishing adventure.
