Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, we're not messing around with any fancy stuff. We're talking good old-fashioned light tackle fishing that puts you in direct contact with these hard-fighting fish. Depending on the conditions, we might be casting lures along the shoreline, jigging over structure, or drifting live bait. Captain Bill's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, whether it's using the latest in fish-finding tech or relying on decades of local knowledge. He'll show you how to work your rod and reel to entice those strikes and land your catch. And hey, if you've never handled a fish before, no worries - we'll teach you the ropes, from setting the hook to safely releasing your catch (if you're not keeping it for dinner, that is).

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: Let's talk about the crown jewel of Cape Cod fishing - the striped bass. These bruisers can grow over 50 pounds, and they're known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. Stripers start showing up in May and stick around through October, with the peak season being June to August. What makes them so special? It's the challenge. These fish are smart, they're strong, and landing a big one is something you'll be bragging about for years. Plus, they're delicious if you decide to keep one for the grill.

Bluefish: Now, if you want a real scrapper, look no further than the bluefish. These guys are like the pit bulls of the sea - all muscle and attitude. They typically range from 3 to 15 pounds, but don't let their size fool you. When a bluefish hits your lure, you'll know it. They're famous for their blistering runs and their tendency to jump and thrash on the surface. Bluefish usually show up a bit later than stripers, with the best action happening from July through September. The coolest thing about blues? They often feed in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop.
