Action-packed day from the get-go! I had the pleasure of taking Danny and their crew out for a summer offshore adventure with Meat Wagon Fishing Charters. We set off from Yarmouth, MA in the early morning, ready to explore the waters off Cape Cod. The day greeted us with partly cloudy skies, perfect conditions for our 5-hour morning fishing trip. As we headed out from 220 South St, the anticipation was high for what the day might bring. With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on a mix of offshore techniques to maximize our chances. We started with some trolling, covering good ground and searching for active fish. As the morning progressed, we switched things up with some bottom fishing, dropping our lines deep to see what might be lurking below. We also tried our hand at chunking, hoping to attract some of the bigger predators in the area. Throughout the day, we kept at it, rotating through these techniques to give Danny and their crew a well-rounded offshore experience. While we didn't land any keepers on this particular outing, the day was far from a loss. Offshore fishing can be unpredictable, but every moment on the water is a chance to learn and enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod's coastline. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, appreciating the challenge and the time spent out on the open water. For those of you thinking about your own Cape Cod fishing adventure, I'd love to have you aboard Meat Wagon Fishing Charters for a Cape Cod Striped Bass & Bluefish Trip.

Book your Charter Fishing Cape Cod experience today, and let's see what we can reel in together!
Cape Cod Canal The Canal is delivering classic early June conditions. Anglers are reporting productive sessions, especially during early morning and evening tides. Striped bass are active, with fish ranging from schoolies to over 40 inches. Jigging and casting topwater lures have been the most effective, particularly near the west end. 🐟 Cape Cod Bay Cape Cod Bay is heating up for flounder fishing, especially between Dennis and Truro in about 40 feet of water. Sea worms, clam, and mussels are working well. Striped bass up to 45 inches are also being caught using topwater lures and light tackle. 🐠 Buzzards Bay & Nantucket Sound Buzzards Bay and Nantucket Sound are holding strong numbers of striped bass and black sea bass. Stripers, including fish in the 30- to 40-pound range, are showing up regularly. Black sea bass action continues to improve, with a good mix of sizes and plenty of keepers. 🐡 Offshore & Deepwater Offshore reports are picking up, with bluefin tuna showing up east and north of Cape Cod. Trolling and jigging are working well for these powerful fish. Haddock fishing to the north is also productive, with steady action in deeper waters. 🧰 Tips for Anglers Tide Timing: Fish early mornings or evenings for the best results. Bait Selection: Use sea worms, clams, or mussels for flounder; topwater lures and jigs for bass; squid or jigs for sea bass. Gear Prep: Bring a mix of light and heavy tackle to adjust for inshore and offshore conditions. With warming water temperatures and an abundance of active species, Cape Cod is offering excellent fishing opportunities right now. Whether you're casting in the Canal or heading offshore for tuna, early June is a great time to get out there.
Great striper trip with Manu, Aryam, Asha and Hunter! Caught several quality Stripers today using Black Hole Challenger 731-M rods. Always Great having young Fisherman and Fisherwoman on the boat seeing the excitement and Joy is brings to them seeing those majestic Stripers!!! #BlackHoleUSA #MeatWagonFishingCharters
Great Trip today catching Jumbo Fluke! It was a pleasure fishing with Chris, Bob, Sammy, Steve and Richie. Bob held the lead with an 11.1 Lb fish for most of the day until Richie hooked in to his 13 Pounder!!! Lots of quality fish were caught by the boys! The 13 pounder was caught on a Black Hole Challenger 701L Rod!!! #BlackHoleUSA #MeatWagonFishingCharters
