Inshore Fishing
Sixhour inshore charter targets striped bass along Rye coastline.Accommodates groups up to eight guests with professional guidance.Coastal waters provide prime fishing conditions near New Hampshire shore.
Picture this: you and seven of your fishing buddies have the entire boat to yourselves for six solid hours of striped bass action along New Hampshire's pristine seacoast. Captain Matt and his crew at Tontine Fishing Charters know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're ready to put you on some serious fish. The Rye coastline offers some of the most productive inshore fishing on the East Coast, with rocky structure, tidal rips, and baitfish concentrations that draw hungry stripers in close to shore. This isn't your typical crowded party boat experience – it's your private fishing adventure where every angler gets prime rod time and personal attention from the crew.
Your day starts early at the Rye Harbor launch, where you'll meet Captain Matt and get the rundown on tackle, safety, and the game plan for the day. The beauty of a private charter is flexibility – if the stripers are running thick in one spot, you'll stay and work them hard. If the bite slows down, you'll move to fresh water without worrying about other passengers' preferences. The crew provides all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait you'll need, though seasoned anglers are welcome to bring their favorite setups. Expect to fish a variety of structures throughout the trip – from rocky ledges and drop-offs to sandy flats where baitfish school up. The New Hampshire coast offers diverse fishing opportunities within a short boat ride, so you'll cover plenty of water during your six hours. Captain Matt's local knowledge shines when it comes to reading the conditions and adjusting tactics based on tides, weather, and fish behavior.
Tontine Fishing Charters runs top-notch equipment designed for the demanding nature of inshore striper fishing. You'll be using medium to heavy spinning and conventional tackle spooled with braided line for maximum sensitivity and hookset power. The crew switches between live bait presentations and artificial lures depending on conditions and fish activity. Chunk baiting with fresh mackerel, herring, or pogies often produces the biggest fish, especially when stripers are holding deep near structure. When the fish are more active, you'll throw everything from soft plastics and bucktails to topwater plugs and metal jigs. The captain and mate are hands-on teachers, so whether you're a seasoned angler looking to fine-tune your technique or a newcomer wanting to learn the ropes, you'll pick up valuable skills throughout the day. They'll show you how to read your fishfinder, work different depths, and feel the difference between a fish pickup and bottom contact. The boat is equipped with quality electronics, outriggers for trolling when appropriate, and a large fish box to keep your catch fresh.

Striped bass are the crown jewel of New England inshore fishing, and Rye's coastal waters host some fantastic populations throughout the season. These fish typically range from schoolie size around 20-28 inches up to keeper bass in the 28-40 inch range, with the occasional cow striper pushing 40+ inches and 30+ pounds showing up to make your day. Stripers are incredibly smart and adaptable predators that feed on everything from sand eels and herring to crabs and worms. They're structure-oriented fish, so you'll find them around rocky ledges, drop-offs, and areas where currents create feeding opportunities. The best action often happens during moving tides when baitfish get pushed around and stripers move in to capitalize. What makes striped bass so popular with anglers is their combination of size, fight, and eating quality. A good striper will make multiple runs, use the current to its advantage, and test your drag system. They're also excellent table fare when handled properly, with firm white meat that's perfect for grilling or making fish tacos. Peak season in New Hampshire waters typically runs from late spring through fall, with some of the best fishing happening in late summer and early fall when baitfish are abundant and the bass are feeding heavily before their southern migration.
