Species You'll Want to Hook

Black Sea Bass: These bruisers are the stars of the show, and for good reason. Known for their aggressive strikes and stubborn fights, black sea bass will give you a run for your money. They typically range from 1 to 5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into an 8-pounder – they're out there! These fish love structure, so we'll be targeting rocky bottoms and wrecks where they like to hang out. The meat is white, flaky, and absolutely delicious – perfect for a fresh catch dinner.

Tautog (Blackfish): While we're primarily after sea bass, don't be surprised if you hook into a tautog. These buck-toothed bottom-dwellers are notorious bait stealers and put up a heck of a fight for their size. They're masters of structure, often found around rocks and reefs. Tautog fishing requires finesse and patience, but the reward is some of the tastiest fish you'll ever eat.

Scup (Porgy): These pan-sized battlers might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but they're a blast to catch and excellent table fare. Scup travel in schools, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. They have a light, delicate flavor that's perfect for frying whole or filleting for fish tacos. Don't underestimate these little fighters – they can provide some of the most fun you'll have on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

Our 4 to 6-hour charters are designed to give you the full Cape Cod fishing experience. We'll start by cruising out to some of our favorite spots, keeping an eye out for birds and other signs of fish activity. Once we find a promising area, we'll set up and start fishing. Don't worry if you're new to this – our crew will show you the ropes and make sure you're comfortable with the techniques we're using.

As we fish, keep your eyes peeled for other marine life. It's not uncommon to spot seals, dolphins, or even the occasional whale in these waters. And remember, fishing is just part of the experience – you're also here to soak in the beauty of Cape Cod from a whole new perspective.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks love our Black Sea Bass charters for more than just the fish. It's about the whole package – the thrill of the catch, the beauty of the Cape, and the chance to learn from some of the best in the business. Our captains have decades of experience on these waters, and they're passionate about sharing their knowledge. Whether you're looking to improve your technique, learn about local marine life, or just have a great time on the water, we've got you covered.

And let's not forget about the fish themselves. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of reeling in your own dinner. Black sea bass are not only fun to catch, but they're also a treat for the taste buds. Many of our guests tell us that the fish they catch with us are the best they've ever tasted – and we're inclined to agree!

Top Catches This Season

This season has been a banner year for black sea bass off Cape Cod. We've been seeing some real bruisers come over the rails, with several fish in the 5 to 7-pound range. The average catch has been running about 2 to 4 pounds – perfect eating size. Remember, after September 1st, sea bass fishing becomes catch and release only, so if you're looking to stock up your freezer, now's the time to book!

We've also been having great luck with tautog and scup as by-catch. These species provide some variety to your day and are excellent eating in their own right. It's not uncommon for our guests to go home with a mixed bag of fish, giving them options for several delicious meals.
