Reel in the Big Ones on Cape Cod Bay

Ready for a wicked good time chasing stripers, blues, and albies in Cape Cod Bay? Hop aboard The Magnanimous for a private 6-hour fishing charter that'll have you hooked from the start. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your sea legs, this trip is all about putting you on the fish and showing you the ropes of Cape Cod fishing. We've got room for up to six of your crew, so grab your buddies and let's hit the water!

What to Expect on the Water

From the moment we shove off, it's all hands on deck for some serious fishing action. We'll cruise the productive waters of Cape Cod Bay, switching between surface casting and bottom fishing to track down the hot bite. Our expert crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a day of non-stop action. We provide all the gear and know-how, so just bring your A-game and a good attitude. And hey, if you're feeling peckish, we can even swing by Barnstable Harbor for a quick lunch break - nothing beats a lobster roll between casts!

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, we're not messing around - we're here to catch fish. We'll be using a mix of techniques to maximize our chances. Surface casting is a blast, especially when the stripers and blues are busting bait on top. There's nothing like the rush of seeing a big fish explode on your lure. When things slow down up top, we'll switch to bottom fishing, dropping jigs and bait to where the lunkers are lurking. Our crew will show you the ropes, from how to work a topwater plug to the art of feeling the bite on the bottom. And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Cape Cod fishing, stripers are the fish that keep anglers coming back year after year. These hard-fighting fish can grow to over 50 pounds, and they're a blast to catch on light tackle. We target them from spring through fall, with the peak season typically in June and July. If you're lucky enough to hook into a keeper (28-31 inches), you're in for some of the best eating fish around.

Bluefish: Don't let anyone tell you blues are just bait stealers - these toothy critters are some of the hardest fighting fish in the bay. They show up in force come summer, usually chasing schools of bait fish near the surface. When a bluefish hits your lure, hold on tight - they're known for blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. And if you've never had fresh grilled bluefish, you're in for a treat.

False Albacore (Albies): These speedsters, also known as "little tunny," are the sprinters of Cape Cod Bay. They typically show up in late summer and early fall, and when they do, it's game on. Albies are notorious for their blistering runs - hook into one, and you'll swear your reel is smoking. They're catch-and-release only, but the thrill of the fight is more than worth it. Pound for pound, they're some of the strongest fish you'll tangle with in these waters.

Top Catches This Season

This year has been red hot for striped bass, with lots of keepers in the 28 to 31-inch range coming over the rails. We've been finding them around the rocky points and along the sandy flats, especially on incoming tides. Bluefish have been thick in the rips, providing non-stop action on light tackle. And let me tell you, the albie run this fall was one for the books - we had days where you could barely get your lure in the water before another one would smash it. It's shaping up to be another banner year on Cape Cod Bay, so don't miss out!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing Cape Cod Bay that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of watching a striper crush a topwater plug at dawn, or the way your arms burn after battling a big blue. Could be the stunning scenery, with lighthouses dotting the shoreline and seals popping up to say hello. Or maybe it's just the satisfaction of spending a day on the water with good company, chasing fish and making memories. Whatever it is, once you experience it, you'll be hooked for life.
