Ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime? Hop aboard with Captain Tom and Gypsy Charters for a full day of angling action off the stunning shores of Cape Cod. This 12-hour private charter gives you and five buddies exclusive access to some of the most productive fishing spots in the Northeast. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler or just enjoy a day on the water, Captain Tom's got the local know-how to put you on the fish.

What to Expect on the Water

When you step onto Gypsy Charters' well-equipped vessel, you're in for a treat. Captain Tom's been navigating these waters for years, and he knows exactly where the big ones are hiding. You'll cruise past iconic Cape Cod landmarks as you head to the hottest fishing grounds. Don't worry if you're new to fishing - the captain's got patience in spades and will show you the ropes. Seasoned anglers, get ready to swap stories and maybe even learn a new trick or two. With 12 full hours on the water, you'll have plenty of time to try different spots and techniques until you find what's biting.

Hooking Into the Action

On this trip, we're mainly after summer flounder, but don't be surprised if you hook into other species too. Captain Tom's got all the gear you need - top-notch rods, reels, and bait. We'll likely be doing some bottom fishing, which means dropping your line to where the flounder are hanging out. The captain will show you how to feel for that telltale tap-tap of a fish taking the bait. When you get a bite, it's all about the smooth, steady reel. These flatfish can put up a decent fight, so stay on your toes! And hey, if the flounder aren't cooperating, we might switch it up and try for stripers or blues. Flexibility is the name of the game out here.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Summer flounder, also known as fluke, are the stars of this show. These crafty flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. But don't let their looks fool you - they've got a nasty set of chompers and can put up a solid fight. Fluke typically range from 2 to 5 pounds, but lucky anglers might land a doormat over 10 pounds. They're most active in the warmer months, usually May through October. What makes fluke so popular? Well, aside from the fun of catching them, they're absolutely delicious. There's nothing like fresh flounder for dinner after a day on the water.

While we're focusing on flounder, Cape Cod's waters are teeming with other gamefish. You might tangle with a hard-fighting striper or bluefish. Striped bass are the rockstars of the Northeast coast, known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Blues, on the other hand, are all teeth and attitude - hooking one of these guys is like starting a barroom brawl on your line. The variety keeps things interesting, and you never know what might decide to bite next.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Fishing with Gypsy Charters isn't just about what ends up in the cooler - it's about the whole experience. Captain Tom's not just a guide; he's a local legend with a boatload of stories. You'll learn about the area's rich maritime history as you cruise past lighthouses and quaint coastal towns. The scenery alone is worth the trip - from seals popping up to check you out, to the possibility of spotting whales in the distance. And let's not forget the pure joy of being out on the open water, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a chance to reconnect with nature, bond with your buddies, and maybe even discover a new passion for fishing.

Top Catches This Season

This year's been a banner one for fluke fishing off Cape Cod. Anglers have been hauling in some impressive catches, with several doormat-sized flounder making it into the boat. The key has been finding those sweet spots where the bait fish are congregating. Captain Tom's been dialing in on some productive areas, leading to consistent action throughout the day. We've seen a good mix of keeper-sized fish, with a few true trophies in the mix. Remember, it's not just about size - even the smaller fluke put up a fun fight and taste great on the grill. And for those looking for a real challenge, we've had some success with light tackle, which really lets you feel every head shake and run.
