The Striped Bass put up a great fight, carving through the water and making those reels sing, but we managed to get several nice ones in the boat.

Reel Adventure: Striped Bass Bonanza on the South Shore

It was another great day on the water with Andrea, exploring the South Shore for some inshore action. As a Boston native, I always look forward to guiding these trips in June—the weather is usually pleasant, the water is in great shape, and the fish are really active this time of year. We got an early start, meeting up at 18 Shipyard Dr at 7:00 am under a bit of cloud cover, but the rain cleared out quickly, leaving us with comfortable conditions throughout the day. I rigged up some deep sea, jigging, and light tackle setups, and we wasted no time getting lines in the water. The key was covering different depths and working some structure to find the Striped Bass—they've been staging up in preparation for the summer, and we were determined to put Andrea on some quality fish. It wasn't long before her rod doubled over, and she was into her first Striper of the day. The fish put up a great fight, but she kept her cool and got it to the boat. After that, the bite just kept getting better, and we managed to land several more nice Striped Bass using a mix of trolling, jigging, and light tackle presentations. It was awesome to see the variety of techniques paying off, and Andrea was a natural, switching up her approach on the fly to stay on the fish. Overall, it was just an incredible day out on the water. The South Shore scenery was beautiful, the fishing was better than I could have hoped for, and most importantly, Andrea had a blast. If you're looking to experience some of the best inshore fishing the Boston area has to offer, I'd highly recommend booking a Private 5 To 9 Hour Inshore Charter Trip In South Shore with Blueline Fishing Charters. We'll put you on the fish, teach you some new techniques, and make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water. Can't wait to get you out there!

May is a prime season for targeting Striped Bass, and the weather couldn't have been better—partly cloudy skies and great water conditions meant we were set up for a productive day. We got the lines in the water early, mixing it up with some deep sea, jigging, and light tackle techniques to cover different depths and find where the fish were holding. It didn't take long before the rods started bending—the group was into some nice Striped Bass right away. We had a blast fighting those big, powerful fish, watching them come up to the surface and put on a show. The action stayed steady, and we managed to land a nice mix, adding some more Stripers to the box. Even when the bite slowed down a bit, we kept working the water, trying different spots and approaches. The great thing about these Inshore trips is you never know when the fish will turn on again. Sure enough, the action picked back up, and we got into some more quality Striped Bass. Everyone stayed dialed in and patient, and it paid off with some excellent fishing.

Striped Bass Showdown: A Thrilling Inshore Adventure on the South Shore

It was a beautiful late-summer day in Hingham, Massachusetts, as we set out with Ian Hernandez and two other guests on a Private 5 To 9 Hour Inshore Charter Trip In South Shore with Blueline Fishing Charters. September is a prime time for inshore fishing around these parts, with the Striped Bass and Bluefish feeding aggressively as the waters start to cool. We had a great mix of techniques lined up, ready to target the various species we might encounter. The skies were partly cloudy, but the water looked fantastic - clear and calm, ideal for the deep-sea, jigging, trolling, and light tackle tactics we had in mind. We wasted no time getting our lines in the water, trying a little bit of everything to see what the fish were keying in on. It wasn't long before Ian's rod bent over, and he was into a nice Striped bass. That fish put up one heck of a fight, stripping line and making some strong runs, but Ian kept his cool and worked it to the boat. We got a few more Stripers in quick succession, along with a couple feisty Bluefish that had the whole crew laughing and cheering. The action stayed steady throughout the day, with everyone getting a chance to wrestle some quality fish. Even though we didn't manage to land any record-breakers, it was still an awesome day on the water. The crew was great, the scenery was beautiful, and we all had a blast just being out there, soaking up the sun and enjoying the company. If you're looking to experience some of the best inshore fishing the South Shore has to offer, I can't recommend Blueline Fishing Charters enough.

We fished 3 days with Captain Dave and his deck hand Steve. These guys are pros and very informative all day looong. We caught striped bass, haddock, cod, our limit of 15 lobster, and many other fish with these Boston guys!! My daughter, cousins, and friends have made lasting memories with bluelines fishing charters.

June 30, 2025

Captain Dave and his first mate Glenn are amazing! We have done numerous fishing charters and have never experienced the genuine care in ensuring that everyone has an incredible day of fishing as we did with Dave and Glenn. My son wanted to try lobster fishing and they made him feel like a valuable deckhand. He was thrilled! After a successful lobster haul, Captain Dave went an hour over our time to give my son the additional experience of reeling in a large bass. It was incredible; the highlight of our vacation!!! Blueline Fishing Charters has my highest recommendation for a truly amazing fishing experience!

June 30, 2025

Captain and his mate Steven were amazing. We had so much fun and gained a lot of knowledge from this trip! They were really accommodating and made the whole experience memorable. Hands down the best fishing charter in Boston for in/off shore fishing!

June 30, 2025

Captain Dave helped me and my buddies get onto 3 great bluefish, with plenty of other bites. He allowed us to book with less than 1 hour of notice, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and was priced the best in the area. Would recommend him to new and experienced anglers.

June 30, 2025

Had a great experience with captain Dave after our other captain canceled on us! He was able to get ready last minute and put us on the fish!

June 30, 2025

Great trip with Captain Dave and Steve today. Dave is very knowledgeable about where to find fish in the local waters and we had a great day catching stripers. Highly recommended and will definitely be going again.
