Top-Rated Cape Cod 4 HR Inshore Fishing Trip

Cape Cod's Inshore Fishing Bonanza

Get ready to dive into the heart of Cape Cod's legendary inshore fishing scene with our 4-hour trip that'll have you hooked from start to finish. We're talking prime spots like Monomoy Shoals, Billingsgate Shoal in Cape Cod Bay, and the iconic Race Point off Provincetown. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, these waters are teeming with action that'll keep your rod bent and your spirits high.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're out on the crystal-clear waters of Cape Cod, the salty breeze in your hair, and your line's in the water before you can say "fish on." We're not messing around here - we're talking serious action targeting monster Striped Bass and hard-fighting Bluefish. But that's not all, folks. You might just find yourself battling a hefty Black Seabass, a scrappy Scup, or even a feisty Fluke. We've got room for up to 5 anglers, so bring your crew and get ready for some friendly competition. Just remember, we're all about the fishing here, so you'll want to pack your own snacks to keep your energy up for all the reeling you'll be doing.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

Listen up, because this is where it gets good. We're not just drifting around hoping for a bite. Nope, we're pulling out all the stops with a mix of inshore and nearshore fishing techniques that'll make even the most stubborn fish think twice. We're talking deep sea fishing for those bottom-dwellers, trolling for the big boys, and light tackle spinning that'll test your skills. And when the bite is on, we'll switch it up with some jigging or heavy tackle action that'll have your arms feeling it the next day (in the best way possible). It's all about reading the water, finding the fish, and using the right technique at the right time. That's the kind of know-how that puts fish in the boat, and trust me, we've got it in spades.

What Anglers Are Saying

"I do a yearly trip with Fishon Fishing Charters, and honestly, I look forward to it every single year! Captain Rick is incredibly knowledgeable about where to fish and how to navigate the waters. Even though I'm still learning how to fish, Rick always guides us and ensures we have a great time. We enjoy catching and releasing fish for fun, and I can't wait for my next trip with FISHON!" - Angel

"We booked a 4-hour fishing trip with Captain Rick for our family of four, starting bright and early at 6 AM, and it turned out to be the best striped bass fishing experience ever. Using just one rod, the action was non-stop—each of us caught at least three fish before we were happily exhausted. Other boats reported some catches over the radio, but nothing came close to the frenzy we experienced." - Dmitry

"Captain Rick greeted us promptly when we arrived 20 minutes early for our 8 AM departure. The morning was incredibly foggy, and he kindly offered to refund our money due to the conditions. With three kids in tow—ages 6, 8, and 10—we debated whether to proceed, especially since our youngest was a bit hesitant. Ultimately, we decided to give it a go, and we couldn't be happier that we did!" - Rebecca

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's talk fish. First up, the undisputed king of Cape Cod waters: the Striped Bass. These bad boys are the reason anglers lose sleep, dreaming of that 40-incher that'll test every ounce of your skill. Stripers love to hang around structure, so we'll be hitting those rocky shorelines and sandbars where they're lying in wait. Spring through fall is prime time, with the biggest fish usually showing up in June and July. There's nothing quite like the rush of a big striper smashing your lure and peeling drag.

Next on the hit list: Bluefish. These guys are the brawlers of the sea. Pound for pound, they'll give you one of the best fights you'll ever have on rod and reel. Blues show up in force from May to October, and when they're in a feeding frenzy, it's non-stop action. They're aggressive feeders with razor-sharp teeth, so watch those fingers when you're unhooking them! The average size is around 5-10 pounds, but don't be surprised if you tangle with a 15-pounder that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

Don't sleep on the Black Sea Bass, either. These bottom-dwellers might not look like much, but they're a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table. We usually start seeing them in good numbers by May, and they stick around until October. They love structure, so we'll drop lines near wrecks and reefs where these tasty fish congregate. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the delicate white meat of a fresh-caught sea bass.

Last but not least, we've got the Summer Flounder, better known around here as Fluke. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. But don't let their looks fool you – they put up a great fight and are absolutely delicious. Fluke fishing gets hot in the summer months, and we've got all the tricks to entice these ambush predators to bite. Landing a doormat fluke (that's a big one in angler speak) is always a highlight of any trip.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the fishing here in Cape Cod, but nothing beats experiencing it for yourself. Our 4-hour inshore trip is the perfect way to get a taste of what these waters have to offer. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler with some of the best-eating fish in the ocean or just want to enjoy the thrill of the catch, we've got you covered. Captain Rick knows these waters like the back of his hand and is always on top of where the fish are biting. So don't just sit there dreaming about it – grab your spot on the boat and let's get out there. The fish are waiting, and trust me, you don't want to miss out on this action. Give us a call, and let's make some memories on the water that'll have you coming back year after year. Tight lines!
