I love this. Taking people fishing since 2004 and I still feel like a little kid. What I like most about my business is that I don't just do one type of trip. If it swims, I fish for it. And I appreciate the little things; seeing the sunrise, enjoying the seas, teaching kids and adults how to fish; how to best handle the gear. With some species, it's just amazing to target them (like giant tuna, sharks).
Other species are great to eat and catch in numbers. Cape Cod is a great place to fish; tons of species to target. And warm waters!

Our season starts in April and ends in November. The "short list" is:
April: Squid.
May: Squid, porgy (scup), black sea bass, stripers/blues, fluke
June: Porgy, black sea bass, stripers/blues, fluke, bluefin tuna
July: Porgy, black sea bass, stripers/blues, fluke, bluefin tuna, sharks, bonito
August: Porgy, black sea bass, stripers/blues, fluke, bluefin tuna, sharks, bonito, false albacore
September: stripers/blues, fluke, bluefin tuna, sharks, bonito, false albacore
October: stripers/blues, bluefin tuna, sharks, bonito, false albacore
November: bluefin...
