Fishing Charters Near Cape Cod Bay

If you've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to hook that huge Bluefin Tuna, then this trip with Captain Jason is the trip for you! With years of experience hitting these truly majestic fish, Captain Jason has all the necessary skill and know-how to put you on the fish and help you bring one home. Depending on the time, season, weather, and water temperature, Bluefin can exhibit a variety of feeding behaviors that only an experienced captain can predict and understand. Because of this variability, you might start off with trolling, then switch over to casting directly to surface-feeding Tuna, then switch again and try throwing live bait while drifting—the options are endless. Whatever you do, you can be confident that Captain Jason is doing all he can to get you a prizewinner! In addition to Tuna, there's also Atlantic Halibut, Mahi-Mahi, White Marlin, and more! These fish are all a blast to catch and great on the dinner table as well. Captain Jason's 26' SeaVee centerl console is powered by a 300-HP Suzuki engine, so you can be out in deep water fast. His boat is capable of holding 4 fishermen, so call your friends or recruit some family! This beautiful center console is equipped with a full suite of electronics and all the bait and tackle you will need on your trip. Captain Jason will provide you with your fishing license, rods, reels, and tackle. Just bring a cooler for your keepers, and don't forget sunglasses and sun protection! Read More

You'll be catching these strange-looking flatfish using bottomfishing techniques. Flounder will hit both baits and lures if they're placed properly, and Captain Bob is a real expert when it comes to hooking this species. He'll set you up with the right tackle for the job and make sure you're on top of the fish! On the day of the trip, you'll head out aboard his 25' Maycraft center console. She's pushed by a 200-HP Suzuki engine, so you'll be off the dock and on the fish fast. She also features a full kit of electronics to maximize your success, plus live wells for bait, ice boxes for your keepers, and more! Captain Bob will bring everything you need to reel in a prize, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait.

    Captain Mark Hakey and his Mate Casey did a fantastic job and provided great service for our family. We caught a good amount of stripers and everyone had a great time. The Captain and Mate are polite and professional and the boat was spotless.
