We had a great day out with Captain Ross. Very friendly guy and his boat is beautiful! On to the actual fishing, it was superb - he landed us on one big fish after another and finished it off by catching the biggest fish of the day right before we headed home 🎣 Truly a day to remember! Already looking forward to going back out with him very soon! 5⭐️

We had a blast fishing with Captain Ross and JJ. Both went above and beyond to make our outing the best possible! We caught well over 10 striped bass including 3 keepers and 1 bluefish. JJ cleaned the fish right when they were brought on the boat. 2 members of our party were newer anglers and both Captain Ross and JJ were patient and helpful to them. We highly recommend a trip with cape cod charter guys regardless of your experience. They will do their best to put you on fish! We look forward to future trips with them both!

<p>Awesome day on the water with Cape Cod Charter Guys. We were on the fish the whole time and caught some jumbo black sea bass. Captain Ross and mate Jayden are very personable and knowledgeable, and everyone had a great time!</p>
