Boston's Best: 7-Hour Fishing Charter Adventure

Ready to hit the waters off Quincy for some serious fishing action? First Bite Charters has you covered with our full-day trip that'll have you reeling in the big ones before you know it. We're talking stripers, bluefish, and maybe even some mackerel if they're running. Our seasoned captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in for a real treat. Grab your sunscreen and let's get after it!

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out of Quincy harbor as the sun's coming up, rod in hand, and the anticipation building. Our 7-hour trip gives you plenty of time to find the hot spots and really get into the groove. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. Just bring your A-game and maybe a lucky hat. Our captain will be right there with you, sharing tips and tricks to help you land the big one. And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Fishing Techniques & Gear

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of techniques to target different species. For stripers, we might start with some trolling using umbrella rigs or tube-and-worm setups. When we find a school of bluefish, get ready for some fast-paced casting action with topwater plugs or metal lures. Our boat's equipped with top-notch electronics to help us find the fish, and we've got a variety of rods and reels to match whatever's biting. Bring a camera - waterproof if you've got one - because you'll want to show off your catch later!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass are the rockstars of these waters. These silver-sided beauties can grow over 50 inches long and put up a fight that'll have your arms aching (in the best way). They love to hang around structure and rocky shorelines, so we'll be hitting all their favorite haunts. Spring and fall are prime times for bigger bass, but summer can be red hot too. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a big striper smashing your lure and peeling line off your reel.

Bluefish are like the bulldogs of the sea - all muscle and attitude. These toothy critters are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps. They usually show up in force by early summer and stick around through fall. Bluefish travel in schools, so when we find them, it's often non-stop action. They're great eating too, if you like a stronger-flavored fish. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them!

While we're primarily after stripers and blues, don't be surprised if we run into some Mackerel. These speedy little fish are a blast on light tackle and make excellent bait for bigger predators. They typically show up in spring and fall, and when you find a school, it's like hitting the jackpot. Their iridescent blue-green backs are a sight to behold when you bring one up.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks who fish with us tend to get hooked themselves. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big striper as it tries to wrap you around a rock. Or the adrenaline rush when a school of blues starts busting bait on the surface. Could be the laid-back vibe on the boat, swapping stories and soaking in the Boston skyline. Whatever it is, our guests often leave already planning their next trip. There's always another fish to catch, another technique to master, or just the simple joy of being out on the water.
