Ready to explore Cape Cod's secret fishing spots? Hop aboard our 17' Carolina Skiff for a half-day trip that'll take you where the big boats can't go. We're talking shallow flats, narrow creeks, and those hard-to-reach honey holes where the fish are less pressured and more willing to bite. This trip is perfect for anglers who love active fishing and want to get up close and personal with Cape Cod's inshore action.
Our half-day trip on the Carolina Skiff is all about versatility and access. We'll cruise into skinny waters and sneak up on structure that larger boats have to avoid. This means you'll be casting to fish that don't see as many lures, upping your chances for a great day on the water. With room for up to three anglers, it's an ideal setup for small groups or families looking to share the excitement. And if you're having a blast and want to keep fishing? No problem - we can add extra hours at $100 a pop to keep the rods bent.
On this trip, we're not just drifting and hoping - we're actively hunting fish. You'll be on your feet, working jigs around dock pilings, skipping lures under overhanging trees, and sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows. Our Carolina Skiff's shallow draft lets us sneak into backwaters where bigger boats fear to tread. We'll use light tackle and finesse techniques to tempt everything from stripers to flounder. It's hands-on fishing at its finest, and you'll learn tricks that'll up your inshore game no matter where you fish.
Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Cape Cod fishing, stripers are hard-fighting and delicious. These fish love structure and current, so we'll target them around jetties, rips, and along steep drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime times, but summer can produce some giants too. Nothing beats the thrill of a big striper crushing a topwater lure at dawn.
Bluefish: When the blues are in, hold onto your rod! These toothy predators are pure muscle and attitude. We often find them busting bait on the surface, creating exciting "blitzes" where you can catch fish after fish on poppers or metal lures. Blues are most abundant from late spring through fall and provide some of the most exciting action you can have on light tackle.
Fluke (Summer Flounder): These flatfish might not look like much, but they're crafty predators and great eating. We'll drift sandy bottoms, working jigs and soft plastics to tempt these ambush specialists. Fluke fishing is a great way to introduce kids to the sport, as the action can be fast and the fish are perfect for a fresh dinner. Look for them from late May through September.
Black Sea Bass: Though we can't target them year-round due to regulations, when sea bass are in season, they're a blast to catch. These structure-loving fish hit hard and fight all the way to the boat. We'll drop jigs and bait around wrecks and reefs to find these tasty bottom dwellers. The meat is white, flaky, and considered some of the best in the sea.
Our Carolina Skiff trips are a hit with locals and visitors alike. There's something special about sneaking into those backwater spots where the big charter boats can't go. You're not just a passenger on this trip - you're an active part of the fishing process. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to fine-tune your inshore skills or a newcomer wanting to learn the ropes, this trip offers the perfect blend of instruction and action. Plus, with the ability to add extra hours, you can keep the good times rolling if the bite is hot.
