Inshore fishing for striped bass and bluefish with Captain SethAccommodates up to 6 guests on scenic Duxbury watersTailored experience for both experienced and novice anglers
Captain Seth knows these Duxbury waters like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on some serious fish. This isn't your typical tourist boat ride – it's a legitimate fishing charter where you'll work the prime inshore spots that produce stripers and blues day after day. With room for up to six anglers, you get that small-group feel where everyone gets personal attention and plenty of elbow room to work their lines. The beauty of fishing these Massachusetts waters is you never know what's going to slam your bait next, but one thing's for sure – Captain Seth will put you in the right spots at the right times.
You'll meet Captain Seth at the dock bright and early, where he'll get you squared away with tackle and give you the rundown on what's been biting lately. Peak Fishing Charters runs a well-equipped boat that's built for serious angling, not just sightseeing. The inshore waters around Duxbury offer some of the most consistent fishing on the South Shore, with structure, drop-offs, and current breaks that hold fish year-round. Captain Seth reads these waters like a book – he knows where the bait schools up, where the predators cruise, and how the tides affect fish movement throughout the day. You'll spend your time working productive water, not burning fuel searching aimlessly. The vibe is relaxed but focused, perfect for both seasoned anglers looking to dial in their technique and newcomers who want to learn from someone who really knows his stuff.
Captain Seth employs a variety of proven techniques depending on conditions and what the fish are telling him. Live bait fishing is often the go-to method – nothing beats a fresh mackerel or herring when the stripers are being picky. You'll learn proper bait presentation, how to read your rod tip for subtle bites, and when to set the hook for maximum success. When the fish are aggressive, you might switch to chunking or even throw some artificials like soft plastics and topwater plugs. The boat carries quality tackle suited for inshore work – medium to heavy spinning gear that can handle everything from schoolie stripers to bull blues that'll test your drag system. Captain Seth will show you how to work different structures, from rocky points to sandy flats, and explain why certain spots produce at specific tide phases. It's hands-on learning that makes you a better angler, not just a passenger along for the ride.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of New England inshore fishing, and Duxbury's waters consistently produce quality fish from spring through fall. These legendary fighters can range from 18-inch schoolies that are perfect for beginners to trophy-class fish pushing 30-plus pounds that'll give experienced anglers a serious workout. Stripers are incredibly smart predators that feed heavily on local bait like mackerel, herring, and sand eels. The best action typically kicks off in late April when water temperatures climb into the 50s, with peak fishing running through October. What makes stripers so special is their combination of size, fight, and intelligence – they'll test your skills and reward good technique with screaming runs and bulldogging fights that create lifelong fishing memories.
Bluefish bring a completely different energy to your fishing day, and Captain Seth knows how to find the aggressive schools that make for non-stop action. These toothy predators are absolute eating machines that hit baits and lures with incredible violence, often hooking themselves before you even realize what happened. Blues in these waters typically run from 2 to 8 pounds, though larger "chopper" blues over 10 pounds show up during peak migration periods in late spring and early fall. They're phenomenal on light tackle, making blistering runs and aerial displays that rival any gamefish. The key to bluefish success is timing – when schools are feeding, you can catch them as fast as you can drop a line, but when they're not around, they're simply not around. Captain Seth tracks these schools and positions you for maximum success when the bite is on.

Captain Seth's 28' Contender is built for serious inshore fishing around Duxbury's productive waters. Twin Yamaha outboards give you the speed to hit multiple spots where striped bass and bluefish are feeding. The boat's loaded with top-tier Simrad and Furuno electronics - GPS keeps you on the fish, radar cuts through morning fog, and the fish finder shows exactly what's swimming below. VHF radio maintains contact with other boats sharing intel on hot bites. Safety gear includes life raft, EPIRB, and first-aid supplies so you can focus on landing fish. With space for 6 anglers, there's plenty of room to work the rails when schools of stripers move through. The Contender's design handles Duxbury Bay's chop while providing a stable platform for casting lures or working live bait. Whether you're targeting keeper bass along the jetties or chasing blues in open water, this setup gets you to the action fast and keeps you fishing comfortably all day.
Pomatomus SaltatrixBlues are pure adrenaline on a fishing rod - aggressive, fast, and built for battle with razor-sharp teeth that'll slice through anything. These blue-green torpedoes typically run 3-15 pounds around here and show up mid-June through October when the water warms. They hunt in schools over sandy bottom and around bait pods, often creating those famous feeding frenzies that churn the water white. Guests love them because they hit hard, fight dirty, and the smaller "cocktail blues" make excellent table fare when bled immediately. Pro tip: use a wire leader and fish cut bait or metals when you see birds diving - blues will hit anything that moves when they're in feeding mode.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are the bread and butter of our Duxbury waters, running 20-40 pounds on average with some monsters pushing 50+. These silvery fighters with their distinctive black stripes love structure - rocks, drop-offs, and tide lines where baitfish get pushed around. Spring through fall is prime time, especially during the migration when they're feeding heavily on pogies and silversides. What makes them special is the combination of strong runs, great table fare, and that satisfying thump when they hit. My local tip: watch for birds working the surface and fish the current breaks around the jetties on the incoming tide - that's where the big girls like to ambush their prey.
