Cape Cod Inshore Fishing: Half-Day Grady White

Cape Cod's Best Kept Inshore Secret

Ready for a top-notch fishing adventure right off the coast of Cape Cod? Our half-day inshore trip on the Three Buoys is just the ticket. This 25-foot Grady White center console is a real workhorse, perfect for zipping out to the hottest fishing spots around. With room for you and three buddies, you'll have plenty of elbow room to reel in the big ones. Let's dive into what makes this trip a can't-miss for any angler visiting the Cape.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising at a cool 30-35 mph, salt spray in your face, as we head out to where the fish are biting. The Three Buoys isn't just any old boat – she's kitted out with twin 200 HP Yamaha outboards, giving us the oomph to reach prime fishing grounds in no time. Whether we're dropping lines near sunken wrecks for seabass and scup, or working the rips off Chatham, you're in for a world-class fishing experience. And hey, if the bite's really on, we can always add extra hours at $125 a pop to keep the action going.

Fishing Spots That Deliver

Cape Cod's waters are a treasure trove for anglers, and we know just where to find the action. One day we might be casting into the churning tide rips off Chatham, where stripers and blues often feed in a frenzy. The next, we could be cruising along the picturesque shoreline of Martha's Vineyard or the Elizabeth Islands, where the fish love to hang out in the structure-rich waters. And let's not forget about those local wrecks – they're like underwater hotels for seabass and scup. We'll pick our spot based on the latest intel and weather conditions, ensuring you're always in the thick of it.

Gear Up for Success

On the Three Buoys, we're ready for whatever Cape Cod throws our way. Our gear is top-notch and versatile, perfect for jigging, trolling, or casting. We've got light tackle setups for those finicky seabass, and heavier gear if we're tangling with some bulldogging stripers. Don't worry if you're new to this – we'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time. And for you seasoned anglers, feel free to bring your favorite rod along. There's nothing like hooking into a keeper on your own gear.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Black Sea Bass: These bruisers are a favorite target, and for good reason. They put up a great fight and taste even better on the grill. We usually find them hanging around structure, so get ready to drop your line near wrecks and reefs. The best part? They're often here in good numbers from spring through fall, with some real lunkers in the 5-pound range not uncommon.

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Cape Cod fishing, stripers are what dreams are made of. These fish can grow to over 50 pounds, and they're known for their powerful runs and head-shaking jumps. We target them along the shorelines and in the rips, where they feed on baitfish. The thrill of watching a big striper blow up on a topwater lure is something you won't soon forget.

Scup (Porgy): Don't let their size fool you – these tasty panfish are a blast to catch, especially on light tackle. They school up in big numbers, so when we find them, it's often non-stop action. Kids especially love catching scup, and they make for some mighty fine eating too. We typically find them over sandy or muddy bottoms, often near structure.

Bluefish: When the blues are in town, hold onto your rod! These toothy critters are like the bulldogs of the sea – all muscle and attitude. They'll hit just about anything that moves and put up a fierce fight all the way to the boat. Bluefish often show up in the same areas as stripers, so don't be surprised if we switch gears mid-trip to target a blitz of blues chopping up the surface.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the waters around Cape Cod. Maybe it's the way the light hits the water as the sun rises over the Atlantic. Or perhaps it's the thrill of never knowing what might be on the end of your line – a monster striper, a feisty blue, or a cooler full of tasty seabass. Our half-day trips are perfect for both the eager novice and the seasoned pro. We've had families create lasting memories, buddies bond over bent rods, and solo anglers tick species off their bucket list. And let's be honest, there's no better way to experience the Cape than from the deck of a boat, rod in hand, with the possibility of a fish of a lifetime just a cast away.
