The Striper bite has been hot lately out of Harwich, with anglers finding plenty of action and a healthy mix of fish sizes. We've been seeing everything from smaller schoolies to keeper-sized fish headed for the dinner table, along with a few bigger fish mixed in. The weather forecast looks excellent, and conditions are setting up nicely for more great days on the water. If you've been thinking about getting out, now is a great time to get in on the action.

Cape cod bay is alive with keeper bass but you need know where thay are that's why a good charter boat is worth the price for a great experience

We had the best time fishing with Captain John and First Mate Caleb! We caught 8 striped bass with the largest 40 inches in length and 20 pounds!! We were able to take 3 home as Caleb cleaned them on the way back to the marina. The fish was delicious! Such a marvelous day out in the water fishing!! Absolutely doing this charter again! Worth EVERY penny to create such special memories!! Thank you Captain John and First Mate Caleb!!! 👍🏼💕😁

🧗‍♂️ BEST DAY EVER ON THE WATER! 🌊We just got back from an absolute powerhouse of a fishing trip in East Dennis, Cape Cod, and I am still buzzing!If you are looking for the ultimate charter experience, you need to book with Captain John. The guy is an absolute legend. Everything about today was 10/10:☀️ The weather was picture-perfect.🐟 The Striper fishing was off the charts.⚓ The captain kept us on the fish all day.👬 The friendship with all the guys made it unforgettable.📸 The photos speak for themselves! Check out these shots from the trip.It is rare that every single piece of a journey comes together this perfectly, but today was truly fantastic from start to finish. Big thanks to the guys for the incredible laughs and to Captain John for a phenomenal day on the Cape.Swipe through to see the lines we tight-lined! 🗺️🎣⛵#StriperFishing #CapeCodFishing #EastDennis #CaptainJohnCharters #StripedBass #FishingWithTheBoys #CapeCodLife #GoodTimes

Our experience with Mark was very nice. The entire family gathered to spend time on the water for Father’s Day. So excited that we caught a big fish to help celebrate the day. Thank you Mark. We will be back!

Matt was wonderful. We went during a bachelor party and he was accommodating with helping to get us out there at an ideal time, helped to get us a lot of fish, and cleaned all of the fish for us so that all we had to do was season them and cook. Highly recommend Matt.

Great trip overall! Captain Jack was knowledgeable, patient, flexible and we caught a bunch of fish. Noman's Land is a beautiful island worth seeing.
