Get ready to explore Cape Cod's inshore waters like never before on this 3-hour fishing trip.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the game, this compact adventure packs a punch, offering a taste of Cape Cod's legendary fishing scene without eating up your whole day.
This isn't your average boat ride – it's a chance to get up close and personal with Cape Cod's diverse inshore fishery. Our 17-footer is perfect for sneaking into those hard-to-reach spots where the big ones hide. With just you and your guide, it's an intimate fishing experience that lets you soak in the beauty of the Cape while chasing after some of the area's most sought-after catches. The new Minn Kota Terrova isn't just a fancy add-on; it's a game-changer that lets us silently creep up on fish without spooking them. Trust me, that can make all the difference between a good day and a great day on the water.
Once we push off, we'll cruise to some of my favorite inshore honey holes. These spots change with the tides and seasons, but that's where the fun comes in. We might be drifting along rocky structures, working the edges of salt marshes, or targeting drop-offs where predators ambush their prey. The beauty of inshore fishing is its variety – one minute you could be casting topwater lures for striped bass, the next you might be jigging for fluke or black sea bass. Our new trolling motor lets us stay on fish with pinpoint accuracy, even in current or wind. It's like having an extra set of hands on board, freeing you up to focus on what matters: catching fish.
Cape Cod's inshore waters are like a box of chocolates – you never know what you're gonna get, but it's always good. One trip might have you battling a hefty striper, while another could see you reeling in a feisty bluefish or a tasty flounder. It's this unpredictability that keeps folks coming back for more. Plus, with our compact 3-hour window, it's the perfect way to scratch that fishing itch without committing your entire day. Whether you're squeezing in some fishing between beach days or looking for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle, this trip fits the bill. And let's be honest, there's something special about being out on these waters as the sun climbs higher, painting the sky and sea in colors you've got to see to believe.
While every day on the water is different, there are some local favorites we often target. Striped bass are the rockstars of Cape Cod fishing, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish can range from schoolies to trophy-sized monsters, and they're a blast on light tackle. Bluefish are another crowd-pleaser – they hit like freight trains and put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. If we're working the bottom, we might tangle with some flatfish like fluke or black sea bass. These aren't just fun to catch; they make for some mighty fine eating too if you're looking to bring home dinner. Remember, the specific species we target can vary based on seasons, regulations, and what's biting, but that's part of the excitement – you never know what might be on the end of your line!
On our inshore trips, we keep things versatile. Light to medium tackle is the name of the game, allowing you to feel every nibble and enjoy the fight when you hook up. We'll likely use a mix of artificial lures and live bait, depending on what's working best. Soft plastics, topwater plugs, and jigs are all in our arsenal. That new Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor? It's a game-changer for techniques like drift fishing or slow-trolling live bait. We can creep along structure or hold position over a promising spot without spooking fish or relying on the main engine. It's like having a silent fishing ninja on board. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques – I'll walk you through everything, from how to work a lure to when to set the hook. By the end of our 3 hours, you'll have picked up some new skills to add to your fishing toolbox.
