Striped bass (striper) charters run from mid-May through mid-September from our docks in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The Cape Ann - Gloucester area is a super place to troll, cast or chum for striped bass. Stripers can be found nestled up against the rocky Cape Ann shoreline, near the myriad islands dotting the inshore fishing grounds or offshore.
The season for striped bass fishing aboard the Sandy B begins sometime towards the middle or end of May. We will troll off-shore in the Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary at this time. Fishing for striped bass on Stellwagen bank this time of year is extremely productive, and the fish tend to be VERY LARGE. Fishing for stripers on Stellwagen is strictly catch and release as no fish may be taken from this area.
By the second or third week of June large schools of bluefish show up on the bank, and both striped bass and bluefish are readily caught at this time. That is where we will take our charter parties. Very exciting and tons of fun!
The bluefish tend to take over Stellwagen shortly after they arrive. They will eat striped bass, and the stripers leave Stellwagen Bank and head for inshore areas. A short time later, giant bluefin tuna show up on the bank. Tuna love to eat bluefish, and the bluefish in turn leave the bank and migrate to inshore areas.
By the beginning of July, you will find us taking striper charters inshore just a couple of miles from Gloucester. We welcome you to join us for an exciting fishing excursion inshore or offshore. Give Capt. Bluefin a call to arrange a super striped bass charter for your party of up to six people.
