Captain Mark's approach emphasizes hands-on instruction for beginners while giving experienced anglers the freedom to fish their preferred techniques.

Cape Cod's fishing conditions vary significantly with tides, weather, and seasonal migrations. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent striped bass action, while summer brings warmer water species like fluke and scup. Wind direction affects our choice of fishing spots, with protected areas available when conditions turn rough. Water temperatures and baitfish movements drive fish behavior, and Captain Mark adjusts tactics accordingly throughout each trip.
Morning trips often produce better results during summer months, while afternoon charters can be productive during cooler periods. We monitor weather forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions become unsafe. The boat's electronics help locate fish-holding structure, but local knowledge of seasonal patterns and feeding times often makes the difference between a good day and a great day on the water.
Our fishing charters accommodate up to six anglers comfortably, with all safety equipment including life jackets and first aid supplies onboard. Departure times are scheduled around optimal tides, typically ranging from early morning to mid-afternoon starts. The boat features a comfortable cabin area for breaks and storage of personal items, plus a large cockpit with plenty of room for multiple anglers to fish simultaneously.
We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and weather-appropriate clothing. Snacks and beverages are welcome aboard, and we can provide recommendations for local restaurants to enjoy your catch. Fishing licenses are required for all anglers over 15 and can be purchased online through the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries website prior to your trip.
