Nantucket's Top-Rated 12-Hour Offshore Fishing Trip

Reel in the Big Ones: Cape Cod Fishing Trip

Get ready for a full day of non-stop fishing action off the coast of Nantucket! Captain Tom's got you covered with this 12-hour private charter that'll have you hauling in cod and haddock like there's no tomorrow. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, this trip's got something for everyone. We're talking about some of the best fishing grounds in the Northeast, folks. So grab your buddies (up to 5 of 'em) and let's hit the high seas for an honest-to-goodness Cape Cod fishing adventure you won't soon forget.

What's the Deal?

Listen up, anglers! Here's the skinny on what you're in for: We're talking a full 12 hours out on the briny, giving you plenty of time to find the honey holes where the big boys hang out. Captain Tom knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in good hands when it comes to putting you on the fish. We'll be targeting mainly cod and haddock, two of the tastiest bottom-dwellers you'll ever sink a hook into. The boat's got room for six, so bring your A-team or make it a family day out. Just remember, we don't provide grub on this trip, so pack a cooler with enough sandwiches and drinks to keep you going all day. Trust me, you'll work up an appetite out there!

Hooks, Lines, and Sinkers

Alright, let's talk tactics. We'll be doing some serious bottom fishing here, folks. That means heavy sinkers, sturdy rods, and plenty of bait. Captain Tom's got all the gear you need, so don't sweat it if you're not packing your own. We'll be dropping lines anywhere from 100 to 300 feet down, depending on where the fish are biting. Expect to use a mix of fresh bait and jigs - whatever's working on the day. The key is to keep your line tight and be ready for that telltale thump when a big cod decides to take a swing at your offering. And let me tell you, when a 20-pounder decides to throw down, you'll know about it! It's all about feeling the bite, setting the hook, and then hanging on for the ride as you crank that bad boy up from the depths.

Fish Tales

Now, I could talk your ear off about how great this trip is, but why not hear it straight from the horse's mouth? Here's what some of our happy anglers have had to say:

"Best day fishing I've ever had! Captain Tom put us right on the fish and we limited out on cod before noon. Can't wait to come back next season!" - Mike R.

"Brought my two sons (10 and 12) and we had an absolute blast. They're still talking about the huge haddock they caught. Great family memories made!" - Sarah T.

"As an experienced angler, I was impressed with Captain Tom's knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile to find the big ones. Solid boat, great crew, and non-stop action. 5 stars!" - John D.

The Main Catch

Let's dive into what you're really after - the fish! We're primarily targeting two rockstars of the North Atlantic: Cod and Haddock.

Atlantic Cod: These guys are the bread and butter of New England fishing. We're talking about fish that can grow up to 50 pounds or more, though your average keeper will be in the 5-20 pound range. Cod are known for their firm, flaky white meat that's perfect for fish and chips. They're bottom feeders with a serious appetite, so they'll hit just about anything that looks tasty. Spring and fall are prime time for cod, but we catch 'em year-round. When you hook into a big cod, get ready for a workout - these fish know how to throw their weight around!

Haddock: Don't let anyone tell you haddock are just cod's little cousin. These fish might be smaller (typically 2-5 pounds), but what they lack in size, they make up for in flavor. Haddock have a sweeter taste than cod and are a favorite among seafood lovers. They school up in large numbers, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Spring is the peak season for haddock, but we see good numbers throughout the summer too. They're scrappy fighters for their size, and there's nothing quite like pulling up a double-header of haddock when you've got two lines in the water!

Time to Get Your Fish On!

Look, if you're still reading this, you know you want to get out there and start hauling 'em in. This 12-hour trip with Captain Tom is the real deal - no tourist traps or half-day teasers here. We're talking about a full day of serious fishing with a guy who knows how to put you on the fish. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer, want to test your skills against some hard-fighting bottom dwellers, or just want to experience the thrill of deep-sea fishing off Cape Cod, this is the trip for you. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak season, so don't wait around. Give Gypsy Charters a call and lock in your date. Trust me, your taste buds (and your fishing buddies) will thank you later.
