Cape Cod Fishing Reports

Your Cape Cod Fishing Experience

Cape Cod is a premier destination for anglers around the world, and for good reason. Our local waters are teeming with a wide array of fish species, from striped bass to bluefin tuna. But with so many options available, it can be tough to know where to start your next fishing trip.

That's where Captain Ross comes in. Every week, he publishes a detailed Cape Cod fishing report that covers everything you need to know about the local angling scene. From the latest hotspots and successful techniques to weather conditions and bait recommendations, his reports provide valuable insights that can help you land more fish on your next outing with him and Captain Jayden. Captain Ross has caught numerous striped bass in the sixty pound class and prides himself on tracking the migration of keeper-size striped bass for clients to take home if they desire. Ross and Jayden are always on the water, so they know exactly where the fish are and the current patterns and migrations that are relevant for your trip. Their up-to-date local knowledge of the waters surrounding Cape Cod provides you the best chance at catching fish.

You'll launch from the boat ramp nearest the action so you maximize your time fishing! Mate Jayden will filet your fish for you on the boat at your request as well. Cape Cod Charter Guys is an award-winning expert Cape Cod fishing charter service ready to take everyone... from pro to average Joe!


We get these questions a lot: What fish are in Cape Cod now? What fish can I catch in Cape Cod?

What is the best bait to use on the Cape Cod Canal? Cape Cod is so cool in the fact that you can fish from shore in the early spring! You can easily reel in some striped bass during the march months before the boats hit the water in May. Cape Cod fish species are so diverse, it's one of the reasons that makes this fishing experience so grand. You can reel in anything from Flounder to Tuna on your charter! These cooler temp waters are perfect for so many fish from May-September yearly. Also, Cape Cod sharks or whale watching anyone? Get your cameras ready in case they make an appearance! As far as bait, if you read through any past reports you will see that we have a wide variety of bait, and lures in our tackle box. We love our Game On Lures and our Diawa Rods the most.


With Cape Cod Charter Guys, you can expect different fishing techniques and locations that are suited to your experience level, your technique preferences and your location preferences. We always go where the fish go, so expect the charter to launch from different docks throughout the year as we follow the bite. Our offshore fishing experiences are great for anglers looking for more action and ready for a physical challenge. Our inshore fishing trips are great for a more relaxed fishing day on the boat with family, younger kids and those looking to fill he cooler with Stripers for instance. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to Cape Cod fishing, following Captain Ross's reports is an excellent way to stay informed and make the most of your time on the water.

Beautiful early May day

Matthew had his first deep-sea fishing trip on his 13th birthday today. After getting away from the weekend crowds that chased all the fish away we did our own thing as we always do. Yes, we found our own pile of fish far away from all the crowds and proceeded to catch many clean healthy Stiper and big Bluefish . Matthew and his family had such an awesome day of catching in the sunshine and beautiful weather today. Still a ton of early Stripers out there to catch. You should join us. Keepin it Reel.

Beginning of May

The beginning of May and no boats to be seen in the rain and wind. The new @nauticstarboats 28XS took to the rough seas like a champ. Some fine tuning done by @gs_marine has this rocket ship flying from one fishing spot to the other.

These fish were so big (34 7/8) our clients had trouble just holding them up for pics, before we made sure they were swimming safely back to grow for another day. The day had keeper size(28- less than 31 inches) this year for fish-n-chips. Tons of smaller schoolies for the catching also. All in all the rain and wind has been great to us this season. Back at it first thing in the morning for another charter. Book now while the fishing is just getting started. Keepin it Reel.

Game on lures and Daiwa gear made the catching amazing today. We stayed dry in the new Simms Pro Dry gear. Thanks to all our partners this season.
