Hi I’m 65 years old. I grew up son of a commercial fisherman. So at a very early age I have been on the water. Fished with my Dad every summer, weekend, school vacation and missed a lot of days at school. I graduated in 1979 and went full time fishing. Fished a lot of places Grandbanks to Trinidad,Lubec Me to to Key West Fla. Commercial fished until 2003 then became a tug boat captain till present. I fish every chance I get. Now I’m sharing my passion. I believe in safety first, but having fun at the same time! Also willing to put in extra time when able too

About Your Trip

Get ready to hit the water and chase some hard-fighting Striped Bass with Captain Ed! Launching from multiple ramps around the Boston area, Captain Ed trailers his 26’ Sea Fox center console wherever the bite is hottest, making sure you’re always in the prime spot to hook into action.

This inshore adventure is all about versatility, light tackle thrills, and big-time Stripers. Your trip kicks off bright and early at 6:00 AM, when the waters are calm and the fish are feeding. Whether you're weaving through inshore bays, targeting river mouths, or working rocky shorelines, Captain Ed’s mobility means no two trips are ever the same — but they’re always packed with opportunities!

Fishing aboard his well-outfitted 26’ Sea Fox center console, you’ll have plenty of room to move and cast. This rig is fully loaded with top-tier rods, reels, and all the light tackle gear you’ll need to battle trophy Stripers. Captain Ed provides fresh bait and will even clean your catch once you’re back on dry land — so you can take home some of the freshest fillets around.

Families are more than welcome aboard — kids under 12 are encouraged to come along and get hooked on fishing! Feel free to bring snacks, drinks, and a few cold beers to keep the good times rolling throughout your 4- to 8-hour adventure.

Captain Ed takes care of everything: rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are all included. All you need to bring is your excitement for a day of rod-bending, heart-pounding fishing across Boston’s beautiful inshore waters!
