Boston's Best: 9-Hour Offshore Fishing Adventure

Ready for a real New England fishing experience? Our 9-hour charter off Quincy's coast is the perfect way to get your sea legs and reel in some impressive catches. We're talking Haddock, Atlantic Mackerel, and a whole lot more. No need to fuss with gear – we've got you covered. Just bring your A-game and let's make some waves!

What to Expect on the Water

As we push off from Quincy, you'll feel that salty breeze hit your face – that's when you know the adventure's starting. We'll cruise out to some prime fishing spots where the big ones are biting. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, we'll make sure you're set up for success. And with a 6-person max, you'll get plenty of attention and tips from the pros.

Hooking the Big Ones

We use a mix of techniques out here, depending on what's biting. For Haddock, we'll likely be bottom fishing with bait or jigs. It's all about feeling that telltale tug and knowing when to set the hook. When we're after Mackerel, we might switch to trolling or jigging – these speedsters love a moving target. Don't worry if you're new to this; we'll walk you through every cast and reel. And when you land that first fish? Trust me, there's nothing like it.

Top Catches This Season

Haddock and Atlantic Mackerel are the stars of the show, but they're not the only fish in the sea. Depending on the season and conditions, we might also run into Cod, Pollock, or even some Striped Bass. Each trip is different, and that's half the fun. You never know what might end up on the end of your line – could be a feisty Mackerel or a hard-fighting Haddock that'll really test your skills.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Haddock are the prize catch for many anglers out here. These bottom-dwellers put up a good fight and are a real treat to eat. They average around 2-3 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 5-pounder or bigger. Spring and early summer are prime Haddock season, so if you're looking to fill the cooler, that's your best bet. These fish love hanging out near rocky bottoms and ledges, so we'll target those sweet spots.

Atlantic Mackerel are the speedsters of these waters. They might be smaller than Haddock, usually 1-2 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in fight. These guys school up, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Late spring through summer is the peak season for Mackerel. They're fast movers, so be ready for some quick reeling. The best part? When Mackerel are around, bigger predators like Striped Bass often follow, so you might just hit the jackpot.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing these waters. Maybe it's the way the Boston skyline fades into the distance as we head out. Or it could be the moment when your rod bends double with that first big catch of the day. Our regulars tell us it's a mix of everything – the fishing, the scenery, and the chance to swap stories with fellow anglers. Plus, there's always the possibility of breaking your personal best or trying out a new technique. Every trip out here is a new adventure.

The First Bite Difference

We're not just another charter service – we're local anglers who live and breathe these waters. Our crew has decades of combined experience, and we're always happy to share our knowledge. Whether it's showing you how to tie the perfect knot or giving you the inside scoop on where the fish are biting, we've got your back. And let's be honest, half the fun is the banter and fishing tales we'll share along the way.

Gearing Up for Success

Leave your tackle box at home – we've got all the gear you need. We use top-notch rods and reels suited for the species we're after. Our bait and lures are always fresh and proven to work in these waters. We'll set you up with everything from circle hooks for bottom fishing to flashy jigs for Mackerel. Just remember to dress in layers (it can get chilly out there) and maybe bring a hat and sunglasses. Oh, and don't forget your camera – you'll want proof of that monster catch!

A Day on the Calendar

Our 9-hour trips typically start early – we're talking first light. But trust me, it's worth setting that alarm. We'll meet at the dock, get everyone aboard, and go over a quick safety briefing. Then it's lines in the water as we head to our first spot. We'll move around throughout the day, following the bite. Expect a mix of active fishing time and cruising between spots. And while we don't provide meals, feel free to bring a cooler with snacks and drinks. Nothing beats a sandwich with a side of ocean views.

More Than Just Fishing

Sure, we're here to catch fish, but there's more to it than that. Keep your eyes peeled for marine life – we often spot seals, and if we're lucky, maybe even a whale in the distance. The bird life out here is pretty impressive too, from diving gannets to soaring gulls. And let's not forget the simple pleasure of being out on the water, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a chance to disconnect and reconnect all at once.

Bringing Home the Catch

One of the best parts? You get to keep your catch (within regulations, of course). We'll help you clean and fillet your fish right on the boat. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of grilling up your own fresh-caught dinner. And if you're not sure how to cook it, we've got plenty of local recipes to share. Haddock fish and chips, anyone?

Learn more about the species

Atlantic Mackerel

Atlantic mackerel are speedy little fish that show up in big schools off our coast, usually in the warmer months. They average about a foot long and a couple pounds. You'll find them near the surface or mid-water, often chasing bait in open water or along tide rips. Summer's the best time to target them, especially early morning or evening. Mackerel are a blast to catch - they hit hard and fight above their weight class. Plus, they make great bait for bigger game fish. To land a bunch, try trolling small shiny lures or spoons behind the boat. My local tip: Keep an eye out for diving birds. That's often a dead giveaway for a school of mackerel feeding on the surface. When you spot that action, get ready for some fast-paced fishing!

Atlantic Mackerel

Haddock

Haddock are bottom-dwelling fish that thrive in the cold waters off our coast. They typically run 14-30 inches long and 2-7 pounds. You'll find them hanging out over sandy or rocky bottoms in depths of 150-450 feet. Spring is prime time for haddock fishing as they move inshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting these fish for their tasty white meat and the fun, steady action they provide. Haddock put up a decent fight on light tackle, often making several good runs. To increase your chances, use fresh clams or sea worms on a simple two-hook bottom rig. Keep your bait close to the bottom and be ready for that telltale tap-tap bite. One local trick: If you're marking fish but not getting bites, try reeling up a few feet. Sometimes haddock suspend a bit off the bottom while feeding.
