I fished on the Starfish boat in Cape Cod Bay, out of Barnstable yesterday morning . We had good…read moreweather/sea conditions. The boat was full at 12 anglers. A lot of them were newbies.The target was winter flounder (was Memorial Day weekend), but the listing for the trip said they would target tautog upon achieving a boat limit on the flounder. Capt Mike was very helpful with pointing out the basics to everyone and pointed out safety features on the boat. Mate Jeff was attentive with help with the bait, untangling lines, re-tying lines lost to break offs, and unhooking fish/bleeding them for best table fare. Though I caught my 8 fish limit on flounder, not everyone did. So we didn't go elsewhere looking for tautog. The guy fishing next to me said he's fished that boat a fair bit and never seen them target tog, even if the boat limit on flounder was caught. That's BS to list the tog option if they never pursue it. They didn't have crabs for bait to try for tog even if we wanted to. I'd say this is a good, clean, safe boat, run by a good crew (Capt Mike and Mate Jeff) if you want to chase winter flounder on a headboat setting in Cape Cod Bay. But don't plan on trying for tog like they list as a possible option.

I'm not arguing with someone who doesn't want us on his boat, so I'm not going to tell him we spend multiple months each winter in Costa Rica and are incredibly familiar with the water; we also have done extensive boat trips off the coast of Ireland, which is incredibly choppy. Getting a refund took forever. A waste of a day. When I told the people at the ticket office they should make it more clear that the captain takes kids at his discretion I was told "the website can not go through every possible scenario." Incredibly rude and unwelcoming; families avoid at all costs!

We lost count of how many fish we caught, and we'd go out on this boat in a heartbeat. Definite 5 star rating here, taking home more fish filets than we could eat in a month. These guys are knowledgeable and talented. Definitely take the 5 hour trip. It was well worth every penny. Awesome day and exceptional fishing from these guys.

4 of us went out with Captain Dennis for a bluefin tuna charter in late August 2022 ( 70" or less…read moreslot). Novice but enthusiastic offshore fishers with lots of inshore and freshwater experience. This was a first for all of us. We were 40-45 miles offshore all morning in an area with nothing shy of 100 whales, breaching, porpoising, and spouting the entire time. Fogged in for early morning with improving skies all day. The first fish was 38-40" fish that blew up the top water spread when he hit it, amazing. Second fish was right at the max, 70", probably north of 180#s. Captain Dennis had to work to keep us on fish as the wolfpack were pretty finicky near the surface. We called it to go try for striper, and within an hour of fishing for striper, we were maxed out. Boat great, First mate and Capitain great team, fish were the real stars of the day. When we got back, all fish were fileted and prepped for us to portion out and freeze. Still enjoying the spoils at dinner time. Thank you Dennis. We'll be back!!!!

Shortly after we entered the open waters of mid-bay, we started catching, and ended up with approx. 21 Stripers (we might have lost count), and 1 nice Bluefish that Blaine bled out immediately, and enabled us to cook it up berre blanc style and it was excellent.) About 15 stripers were legal sized, but we only kept our legal limit of course. (If we were in NY, we would be eating bass for the rest of the summer! Maybe that's why MA allows less keepers so that there are more available for others to catch!) Regardless, it was literally non-stop action and both Capt. Bob and his mate Blaine were awesome. I highly recommend Cape Cod Family Fishing Charters. Tight lines!!!

We did make one large catch of a striped Bass and several of the blue fish which gave us enough for several meals (6 of the 7 of us went fishing). All the teenagers said they would be interested in doing this again with Nico in the future!
