About Your Trip

Get ready to chase hard-fighting Stripers and Blues along the North Shore with Captain Matt, launching out of Beverly Port Marina in Beverly, MA. This is a hands-on, light tackle and fly fishing experience designed for anglers who want to stay active and feel every strike.

You’ll be targeting Striped Bass and Bluefish in the productive inshore waters off Beverly, working structure, rips, and bait-rich areas where these predators love to feed. Whether you’re casting flies or working light tackle, Captain Chris will tailor the approach to match your style and the conditions, helping anglers of all experience levels dial things in and stay on the bite.

Your ride for the day is a classic 25’ SeaCraft—an incredibly capable fishing platform known for its smooth ride and fishability. It’s perfectly suited for navigating the local waters efficiently while giving you plenty of room to cast and fight fish comfortably.

All you need to bring is your weather-appropriate gear, snacks, and drinks for the day. If Captain Matt puts you on a great bite, tips are always appreciated for a job well done.
