About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Drew and prepare for an exciting day of Cape Cod fishing! Cape Cod has some of the best fishing in the country and is home to prized fish all over the peninsula!

On this half or full-day trip, Captain Drew will motor you out into the Cape Cod inshores where you will primarily cast and wade the Monomoy flats and tidal creeks. You can also fish Pleasant Bay, Brewster flats, Barnstable harbor, and south side grass flats. In these spots you can expect to target some Bonito and Striped Bass. To attract these picture-worthy fish you'll be using fly rods to try and spot the fish and cast right at them. Whether you're a beginner or experienced fly fisher, Captain Drew will give you his expert tips to make sure you're ready to land some big catches! Captain Drew offers these fly fishing trips for up to 2 passengers, but he can fit 3 anglers if you choose to do some spin fishing from the boat.

You'll be fishing aboard a 20’ Jones Brothers Cape Fisherman center console that can comfortably fit 3 anglers. Equipped with a 115 HP Yamaha engine and jack plate for shallow water, this boat will have no problem navigating the shallows and flats of Monomoy and Cape Cod Bay, and it will get you where you need to be in the open water too! Sneaking up on fish for some sight-casting is a breeze with this vessel's front-side and back-side casting decks with a poling platform. And if you want to hop out and wade sandbars in prime spots, the low freeboard and ladder have you covered!

On this trip you must bring your own fly rod and gear. Captain Drew recommends an 8-10wt rod, Intermediate/Sink tip/Full-sink line, 25lb leader material, 15lb flouro tippet, Waders, Polarized Glasses, and a Hat. The flies that will get you bites out here are Deceivers, Clousers, Sandeel, Juvy baitfish, and Crab patterns. You should also bring any snacks or drinks you might need and a Massachusetts fishing license. Book your trip today and get ready for a Northeast fishing adventure!

Personable, knowledgeable, and comfortable, Captain Drew out of Chatham, Massachusetts is the perfect guide to show you and your group all that fishing in Cape Cod has to offer.

And there's a lot: World-class Bluefin Tuna, saltwater Striped Bass ("Stripers"), Rockfish, Fluke, and Bluefish all call Cape Cod home. And that's not to mention the Humpback, Baleen, Finback, Minke, and Right Whales, Great White Sharks, Seals, Osprey, and other marine species Captain Drew will point out on your trip.

Captain Drew grew up spending every summer on Cape Cod and developed a passion for boating and fishing at a very young age. Whether it be fishing, surfing, clamming or cruising, he is always on the water! His passion of teaching others about his fishery applies equally to experienced and inexperienced anglers alike. In his own words, "There is always something new to learn and experience when you leave the harbor, and it's all about having fun out there!"

Captain Drew has fished all across the world, spending time in Vermont, Florida, Wyoming, New Zealand, and Hawaii. His fishing travels reveal themselves in the diversity of his Cape Cod trips: anglers can book a day offshore chasing Bluefin Tuna, head out for nearshore Stripers the next day, and then drift and wade the inshore flats for hungry Stripers to cap it all off.

Captain Drew splits his time between Chatham and northern Vermont with his wife Erika, daughter Isla, sons Zane and Reid, and hairy dawgs Bodie and Riggs.

Cpt. Drew took my father, uncle, cousin, and I out for a four our trip and I couldn’t have been more impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and spirit. He knew all the tricks to get us going, and within minutes, we had our first catch. We caught over 15 fish on our trip and brought a few home for dinner! Will be looking forward to booking him next year as well!
