About Your Trip

If your idea of a great fishing trip involves bent rods, full coolers, and some of the best-eating fish in the Atlantic, this offshore groundfishing adventure is for you. Join Captain Peter and Captain Frankie for a full day on the productive waters of Jeffrey's Ledge and the Gulf of Maine, where you'll target a variety of prized bottom species while fishing some of New England's most legendary offshore grounds.

Having spent years learning these waters, the crew knows where to find the structure, bait, and bottom habitat that consistently hold fish throughout the season. Their extensive local knowledge gives anglers the best possible opportunity to connect with species such as Haddock, Pollock, Cod, Redfish, and even Halibut when conditions line up.

These trips head out early and typically fish through the afternoon, allowing plenty of time to explore productive areas and stay on active schools of fish. Once lines hit the bottom, the action can be fast-paced, with opportunities to catch multiple species throughout the day. Whether you're an experienced offshore angler or trying deep-sea fishing for the first time, Captain Peter and Captain Frankie will help you every step of the way.

One of the biggest draws of this trip is the quality of the catch. Haddock and other Gulf of Maine groundfish are among the finest table fare available, and there's nothing quite like bringing home fresh fillets from fish you caught yourself. Between the steady action, beautiful offshore scenery, and the chance to fill the cooler, these trips offer a true New England fishing experience.

What's Included

Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, bait, and your New Hampshire saltwater fishing license. Water and light snacks are provided onboard, and anglers are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch for the day. The vessel is fully equipped with advanced electronics, safety equipment, and all the gear needed for a productive day offshore.

As with any offshore trip, dressing in layers is highly recommended. Conditions can change quickly on the open ocean, and being prepared will help ensure you stay comfortable throughout the day.

Whether you're looking to stock the freezer, introduce friends and family to offshore fishing, or simply enjoy a full day on the water with experienced local captains, this groundfish trip delivers an outstanding opportunity to experience the best of the Gulf of Maine.

Join Captain Peter and Captain Frankie for a premier New Hampshire fishing experience based out of Rye Harbor. Between them, they bring decades of experience chasing striped bass, bluefin tuna, sharks, and groundfish throughout the Gulf of Maine and New Hampshire Seacoast. Having grown up fishing these waters since childhood, they know the tides, structure, bait movements, and seasonal patterns that make this fishery so special.

Whether you're targeting trophy stripers along the rocky coastline, battling giant bluefin tuna offshore, or filling the cooler with fresh haddock, you'll be fishing with a crew that's passionate about putting anglers in the best possible position for success. Their hands-on approach means they'll do much of the casting and positioning work when needed, helping anglers of all experience levels maximize opportunities throughout the day.

Fishing takes place aboard modern, fully equipped center console vessels loaded with top-quality tackle, advanced electronics, and comprehensive safety equipment. From families looking for a fun day on the water to experienced anglers chasing a bucket-list catch, Captain Peter and Captain Frankie work hard to deliver a memorable experience from the first cast to the ride back to the dock.
