Cape Cod offers great fishing opportunities if you're looking to catch a variety of fish species inshore. Captain Jason has been fishing the area for 7 years now and has the knowledge to put you right on top of the fish. He will take you in search of Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bonito and King Mackerel, as well as other local species such as Scup and Little Tunny.

trip description for Cape Cod Offshore Special in Chatham

Every self-respecting offshore fisherman should have giant Bluefin Tuna on his bucket list, and there's no better way to catch one than this trip with Captain Jason! Bluefin are the largest type of Tuna, and are specially adapted to chase baitfish in cold, deep water. They're powerful fish and tough fighters, and they're a challenge for every angler. Captain Jason has been fishing these waters for many, many years, and has the extensive knowledge to find and hook these migratory fish. In addition to Bluefin, you may also encounter Halibut, Mahi Mahi, and White Marlin on this trip. These fish all go for different techniques, so you'll mix it up, switching from trolling to bottomfishing depending on the weather, time, season, and more. Jason's experience as an offshore fisherman is crucial here, because there are so many variables involved when fishing for multiple species across such a wide area. Captain Jason runs his trips on a 27' Conch center console. She's plenty big and capable of holding 4 fishermen, so call some buddies or recruit the family! She's also kitted out with a full suite of electronics to help you zero in on fish, plus all the rods, reels, bait, and tackle necessary for an epic offshore trip. Captain Jason will provide you with your fishing license and is happy to clean your keepers! All you need to do is bring sunscreen, soft-soled shoes, proper clothing, and a cooler for your snacks and drinks. Get out there and get after it! Read More

trip description for Canyon Overnighter in Orleans

The Northeast Canyons off the coast of Massachusetts are one of America's most unique and productive fisheries. Thousands of years ago, when sea levels were far lower than they are today, rivers cut deep channels into the continental shelf, forming steep-walled canyons. Today, these canyons provide an unrivalled opportunity for adventurous saltwater fishermen to catch huge sportfish, including Swordfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Mako Sharks, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, and more! All of these species deserve a place on your offshore fishing bucket list, and there's no better trip to cross a few off. This trip is not for every angler. You'll be deep offshore for multiple days, fishing hard and going for record catches. If you're ready, then Captain Jason will do everything he can to get you on the fish and show you the trip of a lifetime. He's been successfully fishing this area for over 30 years, and he knows how to locate and hook trophy sportfish better than anyone. Depending on the season and target species, you'll use a variety of trolling gear to bring the bites. Once a fish takes the bait, strap in for the fight on your life! Landing these fish takes skill, strength, and stamina, and getting broken off happens all the time. Captain Jason runs a 40' Pettegrow sportfisher with Cummins engines rocking a combined 1080 horsepower. This boat is beautiful and built for one purpose: catching huge fish. She features a kitchen, head, flybridge, and a super-comfortable cabin to make this trip more enjoyable. Jason will provide everything you need for an awesome trip, including top-tier rods, reels, live bait, and tackle. Bring along proper clothing, sun protection, sunglasses, and a cooler with some snacks and drinks, and you'll have a blast! There's no better way to experience offshore Massachusetts fishing than a Bluefin trip with Captain Jason. Due to extreme fuel prices, this trip may require an additional fuel surcharge. Read More

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    Capt Marc was great - he got us on fish quickly. He had each of the 4 of us pulling in big fish for most of our time out there. Crew was very helpful too, especially for less experienced fisherman such as we are. Great experience and would definitely do it again! Great way to celebrate a 60th birthday with friends. - Rich
