Full Day Striped Bass Pro Angler Charter Cape Cod
Private Trip
Sixhour charter targeting Striped Bass and False Albacore daily.Advanced light tackle and topwater popping techniques provided.Early 5:30 AM launch with First Mate assistance included.
If you're serious about chasing stripers and albies around Cape Cod's legendary waters, this six-hour pro charter is exactly what you've been looking for. We're not messing around with beginners here – this trip is built for experienced anglers who know their way around light tackle and want to put their skills to the test on some of the Northeast's most prized gamefish. Starting before dawn at 5:30 AM, you'll be working the flats and nearshore structure where these fish feed aggressively, using precision casting and topwater techniques that separate the weekend warriors from the real deal.
This isn't your typical party boat experience. We're talking about a fast-paced, technique-driven day that maximizes your time with rod in hand. The moment we clear the harbor, we're already reading the water – looking for bait schools, bird activity, and those telltale surface breaks that get every angler's heart pumping. You'll be working the shallow flats where stripers cruise for baitfish, plus hitting the nearshore structure where false albacore patrol in wolf packs. The beauty of this charter is that our first mate handles all the grunt work – rapid lure changes, netting fish, and keeping you in the action while you focus on making those precision casts count. With only four anglers maximum (five if you add the extra spot), there's plenty of elbow room and personalized attention from our crew.
We're fishing with premium light tackle setups that let you feel every head shake and run these fish are famous for. The gear is all provided – high-end spinning reels spooled with braided line, medium-light rods that load perfectly for long casts, and an arsenal of artificial lures that trigger aggressive strikes. Topwater popping is the name of the game here, and there's nothing quite like watching a 30-inch striper explode on a surface plug in three feet of water. We'll also be throwing soft plastics when the bite calls for a more subtle presentation, plus metal jigs when we find schools of albies busting bait on the surface. The key is reading the conditions and adapting your technique – something our crew excels at teaching even seasoned anglers who want to up their game on Cape Cod waters.
Striped Bass are the crown jewel of Cape Cod fishing, and for good reason. These silver-sided bulldogs can range anywhere from schoolie size up to true trophy fish pushing 40-plus inches. What makes stripers so addictive is their intelligence and wariness – they'll test every aspect of your technique. Early morning and late afternoon are prime time, when they move shallow to feed on sand eels, squid, and other baitfish. The best part about targeting stripers around the Cape is the variety of structure and depths you can fish – from skinny water flats where you're sight casting to cruising fish, to deeper rips where they ambush bait in the current. These fish fight dirty too, using their broad shoulders and powerful tails to make blistering runs toward structure.
False Albacore bring a completely different energy to the day. These mini-tunas are pure adrenaline on light tackle, capable of peeling line at speeds that'll make your drag scream. Albies typically show up in late summer and fall, traveling in fast-moving schools that create surface chaos when they trap bait against the beach or around structure. They're incredibly finicky eaters, often requiring precise lure selection and presentation to trigger strikes. But when you connect with one on light gear, you'll understand why Cape Cod guides get so fired up about these fish. They're essentially small bluefin tunas with attitude, and they'll test your drag system and fighting skills like few other species can.
At $800 for up to four experienced anglers (plus $75 for a fifth), this top-rated charter delivers serious value for serious fishermen. You're getting specialized gear, local licenses, artificial lures, and most importantly, access to decades of local knowledge about Cape Cod's most productive fishing grounds. The early start time means you'll be working prime feeding periods when these fish are most active, and the six-hour duration gives you plenty of opportunities to adapt to changing conditions and fish behavior. Whether you're looking to improve your light tackle skills, experience the rush of topwater strikes, or simply spend a day fishing some of the Northeast's most renowned waters, this charter hits all the marks. Don't wait too long to secure your date – prime season books up fast, and there's nothing worse than watching the reports come in while you're stuck on shore.
