On the Water
Fishing Rockport
Fishing out of Rockport means exploring the picturesque islands and ledges of Cape Ann. This area is fantastic for targeting Striped Bass, especially around structure where they can ambush bait. We also find good numbers of Bluefish and False Albacore here when the bait is running. During the warmer months, the bite is generally strong, with Striped Bass often feeding actively in the early morning and late evening. A charter from Rockport can feel like stepping back in time, with the charming harbor as our starting point for an adventure on the water.
