Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bonito Charters

Enjoy a great fishing charter for striped bass and bluefish. The Maverick had great striper fly fishing at Nantucket in June 2009 with the guides from Jan's in Provost, Utah. Multiple hookups with four fish on flyrods at one time.

From spring through fall, stripers, bluefish and bonito invade the cool waters of Cape Cod, resulting in some of the best and most consistent fishing on the east coast. Giant schools of blitzing fish and screaming birds are the norm, and fast action on light tackle makes a trip on our charter boats  unforgettable.

If you prefer fly fishing on the flats or Cape Cod Bay please join Capt. Robbie Briggs on the Seaduced or Capt. Randy Black on the First Mate. For light tackle stripers in Nantucket Sound, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard contact Capt. Tom Barker on the Tuna Eclipse or Capt. Jack Riley on the Maverick.

We offer full and half day trips leaving from Harwichport on the Lower Cape or Sesuit in Cape Cod Bay. Because of Allen Harbor's location, you will be fishing the prime waters of Monomoy within minutes. By State law we have a 2 fish, 28" minimum, limit per angler for striped bass. If you would like to keep your fish our crews will clean and ice your catch before you leave the boat. Tackle, bait, and bottled water are supplied. No license is required. Charters are limited to 4 - 6 anglers dependent on the boat. Please click Rates and Policies for more info. Click Contact to inquire about available dates or if you have any questions.

Fishing Tips & Techniques

Spin Fishing - For most of the sportfishing season Stripers, Blues, and Bonito can be found chasing pods of bait on top in the rips and shoals. They are easily targeted and cast to with lures, soft baits or fresh live bait from our bow casting pulpit or spacious cockpit.

Conventional - At certain times based on water temperature, time of tide, or location of bait in the water column, we will fish with braided or wire line to reach the depth at which the striped bass and bluefish are feeding. You can’t catch fish if they don't see it! Based on your preference and experience we will troll jigged lures, custom Offshore Pursuits umbrella rigs or drift with live bait.

Fly Fishing - We offer trips to the inshore rips and shoals as well as the flats and Cape Cod Bay. If the stripers, bluefish or tuna are on top we position you ahead of the feeding school and sight cast with floating or slow sinking line from our bow casting platform with stripping basket. We are stocked with the most popular Cape fly patterns for the prevalent bait and gamefish. If the fish are deep we drift with the tide and use fast sinking lines to reach the fish showing on our recorder. When the Stripers are in the first wave of the rip we will position the boat to cast to the holding fish. If the fish are moving up and down the rip we will follow the working birds and cast to breaking fish.
