Where We Fish...
^
The majority of our trips go out of
Pamet Harbor, Truro, conveniently located between Provincetown and Wellfleet that offers quick access to the best fishing grounds of outer Cape Cod.
Field & Stream magazine notes that 'Cape Cod has become what many saltwater anglers consider the premier striped
bass fishing destination in the world' and we certainly agree!
What We Catch and How...
^
Our specialty is STRIPED BASS
and BLUES,
BLUEFIN TUNA, and GROUNDFISH (POLLOCK, HADDOCK, CODFISH).
We tend to follow the general rules of thumb:
- Stripers - late May through September
- Blues - mid June through August
- Groundfish - Early Spring and Late Fall
- Tuna - June through October *early Summer and Fall - peak season
Captain Bobby has an extensive assortment of rods, reels, and tackle equipment, he even makes his own jigs to get just the right size, shape, and color. We are also a member of the RONZ Pro Staff! Casting RONZ soft baits can be just the right trick for large bass and bluefin tuna.
Fin-Nor and Quantum is our gear of choice as they deliver a superior cast and excellent fight. We also have a selection of jigging rods and reels for those summer dog days when wire is the key. We welcome all levels of anglers and are more than happy to teach new comers!
Let US know how YOU prefer to fish!
How many fish can we keep on our charter?

- "In just one day I learned a great deal about this wonderful fishery and this new to me technique of big game fishing on light spinning gear tackle. What a blast and what a challenge. Thanks to both Ron and Bobby. The Reel Deal is just that...Bobby has a great riding and fishing boat, he worked his a** off, his gear is the best of the best, and most of all I appreciated his positive attitude and demeanor. I would recommend him highly." 6/11/11

Captain Bobby will be happy to fillet your fish at the end of your striped bass or tuna trip. Tips appreciated. (You are welcome to keep the racks if you would like, however we do not chop up racks due to the wear and tear it puts on our fillet knifes.)
** We do have a limited number of sets of rain gear available. If the weather looks wet and you have forgotten your coat, no problem! Just ask and we will bring along a set for you.
