Make your fishing dreams a reality with Captain Ross and his first mate, Jayden! This father-son team is ready to help you hook up on the best Cape Cod has to offer. On this trip, you'll target two of the most well-known nearshore species: Striped Bass and Bluefish. Captain Ross is always on the water, so he knows exactly where the fish are, along with the current patterns and migrations. You'll make the most of your time on the water, as Captain Ross launches from a ramp right near the fish. Cast out and hit a big Striper or Bluefish with one of the provided rods and reels; Captain Ross provides everything you need for a spectacular day of East Coast fishing! On the day of the trip, you'll set out aboard Captain Ross' 28' Nauticstar center console. It's a perfect boat for these waters: fast, versatile, and big enough to be comfortable with several anglers aboard. With Ross at the helm, it'll be no time at all before you're testing your skill, strength, and stamina against record-setting fish. To maximize your time on the water, make sure you bring proper clothing, a hat, a pair of polarized sunglasses, and sunscreen! No big work boots or heavy hiking boots on the deck of the boat. No hardshell coolers, only softshell coolers or backpacks on the boat. If you do or don’t know if you get seasick nondrowsy Dramamine is always recommended.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.

    Capt Marc was great - he got us on fish quickly. He had each of the 4 of us pulling in big fish for most of our time out there. Crew was very helpful too, especially for less experienced fisherman such as we are. Great experience and would definitely do it again! Great way to celebrate a 60th birthday with friends. - Rich
