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.

After being unsuccessful that Sunday, Eric decided to offer us another chance the next morning. Using his knowledge of the area he put us on fish.

I highly recommend Eric and Hairball Charters. If we have the opportunity we will fish with them again!

My husband said Eric was very knowledgeable and that he took the care to plot and plan out the day so that our son could have the best chance at catching fish- multiple striped bass, bluefish and one stingray were all caught, as well as seal spottings in Monomoy Island made this day one for the books- Our son was absolutely gassed by the end of this outing but the wide grin on his face told the whole story. HIGHLY recommend this fishing charter, both for the experience and expertise of its owner as well as the experience as a whole.

Having shopped here over the years I can say quite a bit about Ryan and his staff. Customer service…read moreis paramount, and that's just the beginning. I was looking for a particular item and they did not carry it, but the woman I spoke to said they would get it ordered for the store and that it would be in within 7-10 days. Since their nationwide competitor had it on the shelf they ordered a case to have it in stock for everyone. Take a moment to think about how impressive that is. Flip the scenario and but a big box retailer in that position. Would they immediately put an item on their next order from a vendor to stock it in the store? Does the store manager even have that power? Or would they be more likely to direct you to their website? Very few of us will ever run into Bezos at the supermarket, so why line his pockets? Almost all of us will run into Ryan and his staff outside of Mocean, either having fun on the trail, or at an event supporting the community. Keep this in mind when shopping.
