The Trips

Four runs. One boat.
Your whole crew.

Every trip is private. Your group, our captain, and whatever is feeding that day. Prices are per boat, not per person.

The Season

What runs, and when.

The water around the Vineyard changes every few weeks. Here is roughly what we chase from spring to fall.

May

Stripers arrive

The first schools push in as the water warms.

June

Bluefish crash bait

Topwater action all over the sounds.

July

Fluke and sea bass

Easy bottom fishing, great for families.

August

Bonito show up

Fast fish on light tackle. Hold on tight.

September

False albacore

The speedsters of the season. Pure adrenaline.

October

The fall run

Big stripers and blues feeding before they head south.

Find the bait, find the fish.

Stripers and blues follow the bait schools, so we do too. Our electronics read the water column so your lines go where the fish are feeding.
