Cape Cod's inshore waters are pure magic for serious anglers, and this full day charter puts you right in the heart of the action. You'll spend eight solid hours working the productive nearshore waters aboard either the Unreel or Elite – both top-rated boats that know these waters like the back of their hand. This isn't your typical crowded charter boat experience. With just four anglers max, you get personalized attention from local captains who've been fishing these waters for decades. They know exactly where the fish are holding and how to adjust tactics based on conditions, tides, and what your group wants to target.
Your day starts early when you meet the crew at the dock, coolers in hand and ready to get after it. The captain will go over the game plan based on current conditions – maybe we're hitting the flats for fluke, working structure for stripers, or chasing breaking fish if the blues are pushing bait. The boats come loaded with everything you need: quality rods, reels, terminal tackle, and a variety of lures and baits. If you're new to saltwater fishing, don't sweat it – the crew will get you dialed in fast. Experienced anglers can bring their own gear if they want, but honestly, the boat's setup is hard to beat. The beauty of a private charter is flexibility. If the bite is hot in one spot, we stay put. If it slows down, we move. No predetermined schedule, just pure fishing strategy.
Cape Cod inshore fishing is all about reading the water and adapting your approach. We'll be working with a mix of techniques depending on what's happening. Live bait like pogies and eels are deadly for big stripers, especially around structure and drop-offs. When the fish are scattered or suspended, we might troll tube-and-worm rigs or umbrella rigs to cover water efficiently. Jigging is huge here too – working bucktails and soft plastics along the bottom for fluke or bouncing them through the water column for stripers. The gear is medium to heavy spinning and conventional setups that can handle anything from schoolie bass to trophy fish. Circle hooks are the standard for live bait to ensure clean releases, and we always carry a variety of weights and sinkers for different depths and currents. The key is staying versatile – these fish can be picky, and having multiple presentations ready makes all the difference.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of Cape Cod fishing, and for good reason. These fish are smart, strong, and absolutely beautiful. Spring and fall see the biggest concentrations as they migrate along the coast, but summer fishing can be world-class too, especially early morning and evening. Schoolies in the 20-28 inch range are a blast on light tackle, but it's those 30+ inch keepers that really get your heart pumping. They fight hard, make long runs, and test every knot in your setup. What makes stripers special is their unpredictability – they might be sipping sand eels on the surface one minute, then crushing pogies in 40 feet of water the next.
Bluefish bring pure aggression to the table. When a school of blues moves into an area, the action gets absolutely wild. These fish hit hard, fight dirty, and never give up. They'll destroy soft plastics, bend hooks, and test your drag system to the limit. Summer is prime time for blues around Cape Cod, especially when they're chasing bait schools near the surface. You'll see birds working, bait jumping everywhere, and blues slashing through the chaos. They're excellent table fare when handled properly, but watch those teeth – blues will bite anything that gets too close.
Fluke, or summer flounder, are the thinking angler's fish. These flatfish are masters of camouflage and ambush predation, lying buried in sand waiting for bait to drift by. Finding productive fluke spots requires understanding bottom structure, current flow, and bait movement. The bigger "doormat" fluke – fish over 5 pounds – are trophy catches that require patience and precise presentations. Fluke fishing peaks during summer months when these fish move into shallow water to feed. What's exciting about targeting fluke is the technique – you're constantly working the bottom with bucktails, feeling for subtle bites, and setting hooks on fish that can be surprisingly strong once they're off the bottom.
This charter delivers everything serious anglers want: access to productive water, experienced local knowledge, quality equipment, and the flexibility to fish your way. With space for just four people, you're guaranteed personal attention and room to fish comfortably. Remember, you can add up to two more guests at $250 each if your group grows – just keep it under six total. The only thing you need to bring is your cooler, some snacks, and the desire to catch fish. If you're interested in the Elite boat specifically, make sure to call about availability since it books up fast. Cape Cod's inshore waters are fishing at their finest, and this charter puts you right where you need to be.
