BOTTOM FISHING
- With a 45-minute cruise into Nantucket Sound, you find yourself in one of the best areas on the East Coast for bottom fishing. Anglers from Montreal to New Jersey come to our vessels on the Ocean Street Dock in Hyannis to get a chance at the scup (porgy), and tautog (blackfish) found in these waters. Our captains are the most experienced, our crews…the most helpful. And while we can’t guarantee you a catch, we can offer you a great time that is fun for the whole family. So while you’re on the Cape, why not try your luck?

CAPTAIN’S CHOICE -
Did you ever see a feeding frenzy?… the water “boiling” with fish? It can happen when you’re after blues, one of the strongest fighting fish found in these waters. It’s the most talked about fishing trip on the dock…and the excitement is contagious! And when the blues aren’t biting we’ll switch gears and go for the best tasting fish “in the sound”…the fluke. It’s the Captain’s Choice, and we have everything you need to take part in the action. All you have to do is show up!

Fish Species We Catch

SCUP (Porgy) Small-mouth fish with strong jaw teeth. Adapted to feeding on shellfish and crustaceans. Silver in color, usually ½ - 1 lb and found on sandy bottoms. 

TAUTOG A very good food and game fish, averages 6 lbs, and is found in summer around rocks, piers and ledges feeding on mussels and other mollusks. Tastes great as Cape Cod Fish & Chips, and as Fish Chowder.

FLUKE (Summer Flounder) Everyone’s favorite. Member of the Flounder family of bottom fish. The top side is brown, the bottom side is white or pale. Anglers get them near the shore in summer from Maine to South Carolina. 

BLACK SEA BASS Delicious white meat that can be baked, broiled or fried. A superior game fish, this bottom fish is often found near rocks, feeding on crabs and small fishes. Average 3 lbs, but can go to 6 lbs. 

BLUEFISH A voracious sport fish, common in Nantucket Sound. A strong fighting fish that can tire even the heartiest fisherman.
