What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard our well-equipped charter boat, you're in for a treat. Captain Tom's been fishing these waters for years, and he's got all the local hotspots dialed in. We'll cruise out past Nantucket, where the fishing grounds are teeming with life. You'll have 6 to 10 hours to drop lines, so there's plenty of time to try different spots and techniques. Don't worry if you're new to fishing – the captain's always happy to show you the ropes. And for you seasoned anglers, get ready to swap some fish tales and maybe even learn a new trick or two. The best part? With a private charter, you've got the flexibility to target whatever's biting best that day.

Techniques & Gear Lowdown

On this trip, we'll be focusing on bottom fishing – that's where the real action is for fluke and sea bass. We'll set you up with sturdy rods and reels, perfect for feeling those subtle bites and hauling up your catch. Bait? We've got that covered too. We typically use squid strips or live minnows – fluke can't resist 'em. For sea bass, we might switch to jigs or drop shot rigs. Captain Tom's always tweaking the approach based on what's working, so you'll get to try a variety of methods throughout the day. And here's a pro tip: when you feel that tap-tap on your line, give it a second before you set the hook. That patience often pays off with a bigger fish!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Summer Flounder (Fluke): These flatfish are the stars of the show in Cape Cod waters. Known for their delicious white meat, fluke can grow up to 20 pounds, though most catches are in the 3-5 pound range. They're masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. But once hooked, they put up a spirited fight, often breaking the surface with acrobatic jumps. The best time to target fluke is from late spring through early fall when the waters warm up. Anglers love targeting these fish because of the challenge – it takes skill to detect their subtle bites and finesse to reel them in.

Black Sea Bass: Don't let their size fool you – black sea bass are pound-for-pound some of the feistiest fish in the Atlantic. These bottom-dwellers typically range from 1-5 pounds, but they fight like they're twice that size. With their distinctive black coloration and white-tipped fins, they're also quite the lookers. Sea bass season usually kicks off in May and runs through the fall. What makes them a favorite among our guests? Besides their hard-fighting nature, sea bass are absolutely delicious. Whether you're grilling, frying, or baking, you can't go wrong with fresh sea bass for dinner.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the waters off Cape Cod. Maybe it's the way the sun glints off the waves as you're reeling in a monster fluke. Or the excitement of feeling a sea bass hammering your bait. But I think what really keeps folks coming back is the whole package – the scenery, the wildlife (keep an eye out for seals and maybe even a whale), and of course, the thrill of the catch. With Gypsy Charters, you're not just going fishing; you're getting the full Cape Cod experience. And let's not forget the bragging rights that come with landing a cooler full of premium fish!
