The South Shore of Massachusetts is home to one of the most productive and accessible saltwater fisheries in New England. From May through September, these coastal waters come alive with prized species like Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cod, Haddock, and Bluefin Tuna. Based in historic Scituate Harbor, our charter service offers fast, direct access to the rich fishing grounds of Massachusetts Bay. For those exploring Massachusetts fishing charters, this location is ideal—close to Stellwagen Bank and prime local waters.

When it comes to offshore action, Bluefin Tuna fishing around Stellwagen Bank is unmatched. Just 15 miles offshore, this spot is known for its consistent bite and exciting big game opportunities. Meanwhile, inshore hotspots like Race Point in Provincetown and local waters near Scituate offer excellent Striper fishing in Massachusetts and reliable catches of Bluefish. Compared to other destinations, saltwater fishing in Massachusetts delivers both variety and convenience—without sacrificing quality.

Captain Anthony brings years of expertise to every trip. A Scituate native and lifelong angler, he has fished the waters from New England to the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands, targeting everything from pelagic species to reef fish. His favorite fishery? Chasing Bluefin Tuna off the South Shore. Fully certified with a USCG Master’s License, CPR, and First Aid training, he leads every outing with skill, safety, and the local insight that makes guided fishing in Massachusetts so rewarding.

Our vessel, the First Pic, is a 35-foot Contender built in 2008 and powered by twin Yamaha F300 engines. Outfitted with top-tier Simrad electronics and meeting all USCG requirements, this boat is built for serious anglers. She reaches cruising speeds of 31 mph, giving you more time with a rod in hand and less time in transit. Whether you're trolling offshore or casting near shore, our boat’s speed and gear give us the edge over other Massachusetts fishing charters.

Every trip includes all licenses, gear, and expert guidance. Anglers can expect to use a mix of topwater, trolling, live bait, and artificial techniques while targeting Tuna, Shark, Cod, Haddock, Bluefish, and of course, Striped Bass. Just bring a weather jacket, sunscreen, snacks, and drinks (no hard liquor), and we’ll handle the rest. Whether you’re planning a day of fishing in Cape Cod or looking for a new go-to charter closer to Boston, we’ll deliver a trip worth repeating.
