ABOUT EAST OF BOSTON FISHING CHARTERS

East of Boston fishing charters is a Massachusetts based sport fishing guide specialized in fishing the waters off the South Shore, Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Bay, and Cape Cod Bay. Our niche guide service specializes in providing anglers an opportunity to target trophy-sized striped bass on light tackle gear. Our clients mostly fish using live mackerel and menhaden (pogies) that we catch at the beginning of each trip, which offers them the best chance at catching big striped bass on light tackle consistently. We will also fish with artificial lures including top water plugs when the opportunity presents itself, which is one of the most exciting ways to catch stripers.

At East of Boston Fishing Charters, we strongly encourage catch and release fishing for the future of our sport, but will be happy to fillet your catch if you wish to keep it.

Our boat is kept on a trailer, which allows us to follow the hot bite and launch from any location. Most common launch points are Cohasset Harbor, Scituate Harbor, Boston Harbor, Green Harbor, and any others that work for being close to the best fishing or our clients. Our season begins in early May when school sized striped bass show up along the beaches and rivers and quickly heats up with each day. Big bass over 20 pounds show up by Memorial Day Weekend and are consistently targetable in our area until October. Striped Bass in our area range from 5 to over 50 pounds in size, with the average around 20. Bluefish, which are another common species on our trips average around 10 pounds and are known to put up a strong fight for their size. Our fishery is constantly changing and evolving by the day and so do we. We are always chasing the best bite and work hard to stay on the fish and it’s not uncommon to fish in 5 feet of water and 150 feet of water in the same day!

East of Boston Fishing Charters offers customized fishing trips from expert anglers looking to catch the biggest fish of their life to families looking to have a fun and relaxing day on the water. We are happy to help you customize the perfect trip for you. If you are interested in an unbeatable inshore fishing experience in the Northeast, you have come to the right place.
