Cape Cod's Premier Striped Bass Fishing Charter

Cape Cod's Prime Striper & Bluefish Action

Ready for some serious rod-bending action on the waters of Cape Cod? Wine Down Boston's extended half-day charter puts you right where the fish are biting. We're talking 6 full hours of chasing down striped bass and bluefish with a pro who knows these waters like the back of his hand. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, Captain Bill Silva's got the know-how to put you on the fish. Grab your crew (up to 4 of you can join), and let's make some waves!

What's the Deal on Deck?

Picture this: You're cruising out of the harbor as the sun's coming up, salt spray in your face, and the anticipation of what's swimming below. Captain Bill's got his secret spots dialed in, so you're heading straight for the action. We provide all the gear you need - rods, reels, bait, the works. Your job? Be ready to reel 'em in when that line starts screaming. And don't worry if you're new to this; the captain's always happy to show you the ropes. Bring your own snacks and drinks to keep your energy up 'cause when the fish are biting, you won't want to stop for anything.

Fishing Like a Local Pro

On this trip, we're not messing around with any fancy-pants techniques. We're talking good old-fashioned New England inshore fishing at its finest. Depending on where the fish are hanging out, we might be chunking bait, tossing lures, or maybe even doing some light trolling. Captain Bill's always got his ear to the water, so he'll know the best approach for the day. You'll be using top-notch gear that's perfect for hauling in those hard-fighting stripers and blues. And here's a pro tip: when a bluefish hits, hold on tight - these guys fight like they've got something to prove!

Top Catches This Season

Every trip's different, but let me tell you, this season's been on fire. We've had folks pulling in stripers pushing 40 inches, and some days the bluefish have been so thick you could almost walk on 'em. One group last week managed to land a 25-pound striper after a fight that had everyone on board cheering. Another time, we hit a school of blues that kept us busy for a solid hour - talk about arm workout! But remember, it's not just about size or numbers. The real magic is in those moments when the line goes tight, and you're connected to something wild and powerful beneath the waves.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: These are the rockstars of the Cape Cod fishing scene. Stripers can grow over 50 inches long and put up a fight that'll test your skills and your gear. They start showing up in spring, but the real action kicks off in June and can last well into the fall. What makes 'em so special? It's that perfect combo of size, strength, and the fact that they're just darn good eating if you decide to keep one (within regulations, of course). When a big striper hits your line, you'll know it - and you'll be grinning from ear to ear.

Bluefish: Now, if stripers are the rockstars, bluefish are the punk rockers of the sea. These guys are all attitude and energy. They're not as big as stripers, typically ranging from 3 to 15 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in pure aggression. Blues show up in force come summer, and when they're in a feeding frenzy, it's non-stop action. They'll hit just about anything that moves, fight like crazy, and often jump clear out of the water. Plus, if you like a stronger-tasting fish, blues are hard to beat when they're fresh off the boat.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the thrill of fishing these waters, but nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. This 6-hour trip with Wine Down Boston is the real deal - no fluff, just solid fishing action with a captain who knows his stuff. Whether you're looking to check "land a monster striper" off your bucket list or just want a fun day out with friends or family, this is your ticket. The boat's waiting, the fish are biting, and Cape Cod's calling your name. So what are you waiting for? Grab your spot now, and let's get out there and make some fishing memories that'll last a lifetime. Trust me, once you feel that first hit, you'll be hooked - pun totally intended!
