Rick Bacon, Captain at Fishon Fishing Charters
Identity Verified
Captain Rick of Fishon Fishing Charters has over 30 years of saltwater fishing experience. His career began as a mate aboard a 35' Cabo Tuna fishing vessel. After two years, when the boat was sold, he turned his focus to fishing at Jeffreys Ledge, targeting Cod, Haddock, Pollock, and Porbeagle Shark. Later, he shifted to pursuing Bass and Bluefish, honing his expertise in these waters.
If you're looking to enjoy fishing in Dennis, Fishon Fishing Charters is the perfect choice. Captain Rick combines decades of professional experience with a passion for delivering memorable fishing adventures. The local waters are teeming with Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cod, Haddock, Scup (Porgy), Black Seabass, Blue Shark, Mako Shark, Tautog, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Albacore Tuna, and more. With a bit of luck, you'll hook into something exciting in no time.
Fishing trips typically involve trolling with light or heavy tackle, and kids are always welcome on board. If you don’t have a child-sized life vest, just ask Captain Rick to provide one. Packing snacks is recommended to keep everyone energized and happy during the trip.
You'll be fishing from a 26’ Cobia sportfishing boat that comfortably accommodates up to six passengers. The boat is fully equipped with essentials, including rods, reels, lures, and a convenient onboard toilet. Live bait is also available—be sure to confirm whether you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate assists on each trip, and tipping is customary, ranging from 10–20% of the trip cost. Your fishing license is covered by the charter, so all you need to do is enjoy the adventure. Captain Rick will also ensure compliance with fishing regulations, so you’ll know when and what you can keep.
Don’t forget to pack sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and any additional drinks you’d like (alcohol is permitted in moderation, excluding hard liquor and glass bottles).

Chasing Stripers on the Shores of Cape Cod: An Unforgettable Deep-Sea Adventure
It was another great day out on the water with the Success Team, chasing Striped bass on Cape Cod. February is a prime time for deep-sea fishing in this area, as the cooler temperatures draw the bass in close to shore. We had partly cloudy skies throughout the day, which kept the water calm and visibility high—perfect conditions to put our various techniques to work. We started the day with some deep-sea trolling, covering a lot of ground to find active fish. It didn't take long before one of the rods just bent over, and we were hooked into a nice Striped bass. The fish put up a great fight, making some strong runs and really testing the angler's skills, but they kept cool under pressure and landed it. From there, we switched things up, trying some jigging to target the bass in more specific areas. That proved to be effective, as we managed to boat a few more solid Striped bass using that technique. The weather stayed nice all day, which made for a comfortable and enjoyable trip. Even when the bite slowed down for a bit, we were able to take in the beautiful Cape Cod scenery and relax. There's just something special about being out on the water, surrounded by nature, and trying to outsmart these powerful gamefish. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, it's an experience that's hard to beat. If you're looking to get in on some world-class deep-sea fishing in Cape Cod, I can't recommend the Test trip enough. Our Fishon Fishing Charters team will equip you with the right gear and techniques to target trophy Striped bass, whether you prefer trolling, jigging, or utilizing heavy or light tackle. It's the perfect blend of exciting action and stunning scenery that will leave you with memories that last a lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip with us today, and let's see what we can pull up from the deep!

Ratings & Reviews Summary

Went fishing with Captain Rick, and what an incredible day! We all brought fish home, with catches ranging from 24” to 36”. Definitely a successful trip!
May 24, 2025
I do a yearly trip with Fishon Fishing Charters, and honestly, I look forward to it every single year! Captain Rick is incredibly knowledgeable about where to fish and how to navigate the waters. Even though I'm still learning how to fish, Rick always guides us and ensures we have a great time. We enjoy catching and releasing fish for fun, and I can't wait for my next trip with FISHON!

We booked a 4-hour fishing trip with Captain Rick for our family of four, starting bright and early at 6 AM, and it turned out to be the best striped bass fishing experience ever. Using just one rod, the action was non-stop—each of us caught at least three fish before we were happily exhausted. Other boats reported some catches over the radio, but nothing came close to the frenzy we experienced. Thanks to the boat’s excellent sonar, Captain Rick found the perfect spot after trying four different locations. He was meticulous in measuring the fish, ensuring accurate records. Over half of the stripers were oversized and released, along with a few smaller ones. Our 13-year-old even managed to pull in two fish at once—twice! We ended up keeping three striped bass and one bluefish, which we’re still enjoying. The taste was exceptional—mild and fresh, likely due to their diet of calamari. It was our first time trying bluefish, and its flavor was pleasantly surprising. A couple of tips: bring a cooler bag if you’re planning to keep your catch (but don’t jinx it!) and pack gloves for handling fish during photos. This trip was a memorable experience for the whole family!

Captain Rick greeted us promptly when we arrived 20 minutes early for our 8 AM departure. The morning was incredibly foggy, and he kindly offered to refund our money due to the conditions. With three kids in tow—ages 6, 8, and 10—we debated whether to proceed, especially since our youngest was a bit hesitant. Ultimately, we decided to give it a go, and we couldn’t be happier that we did! Every member of our family of six caught multiple fish, making it an unforgettable experience for both the kids and the adults. Captain Rick went out of his way to accommodate us, even dropping anchor for our youngest to stabilize the boat despite knowing it might slightly impact the fishing. It didn’t slow us down one bit—we were catching fish faster than Captain Rick could bait the hooks! The entire morning was a fantastic adventure and created wonderful memories for our family. We’re so grateful for Captain Rick’s thoughtfulness and expertise—it truly made the trip special!
