If you are in Cape Cod, and you want to catch fish, book this guy immediately…read more We went for a morning, half day trip on a Tuesday, and we were taken out to do some fishing off of the boat while moving, followed by deep sea fishing. Is this a luxury fishing yacht? No, not at all. What it is, is a fishing boat with a paid of totally hands on, helpful guys, who will make sure you catch fish. Lots of fish. They take care off all of the details for you from setting up the lines to baiting it (until you feel like you want to do it yourself), and taking the fish off the line. For the moving fishing, I kid you not, I had a bite within 30 seconds of casting my line and brought up a bluefish. We caught a few, but not a ton of fish while moving. When we went to the deep sea fishing spots the captain knew, that was when we made our killing. It was rediculous. We seriously were getting bites on the lines within 2 minutes of casting, every time. Sure, we threw some back, but by the end of the trip, I think we had in the neighborhood of 30 keepers. Plus another 10-20 we threw back, and a pair of sharks for good measure. At the end of the trip, they filleted the 30 fish for us, washed, and bagged them (seperated out by type). Ball park, I would guess we took home about 30 pounds of fresh fish. The scrod (scrob?) was recommend we try just raw as sashimi... oh man... totally amazing. Never had fish like this, or that was literally moving a few short hours earlier. I really recommend these guys if you are looking for a great fishing experience.

I can't think of a better person to spend a day with than Captain Avery both because she's fine…read morecompany, and -- after 50+ years of living and fishing in and around Barnstable Harbor -- wow, she can find the fish. I've been on three trips with her this Summer and each time she'd find us some great fishing, even on what I think others found were tough days. This is both light-tackle spinning and fly-fishing and it's great that she provides both. If you've ever cast a 9-weight fly rod with a heavy plug, in 20 mph winds, then you'll realize that your arm can get tired after a while so it's nice to break out the spinning gear and chuck some easy casts way off the boat. I think Avery takes between one and three anglers, certainly no more than two if both are fly-fishing. Though frankly, if you really wanted to fly fish I'd probably go solo with her (as I did one day) so we could both cast them out there and compare results, e.g., with different bugs. (She does know the water and is a heck of a fly-fisher herself.) For spin fishing, three folks are fine -- I did it with two boys who initially needed a little extra space since they don't fish that much, but once they got warmed up, I'd start fishing, too, and we had three people comfortably fishing off the boat. One thing to realize is that this is an active fishing experience. It's not trolling with live bait for huge stripers in the channel. It's chasing birds eating sand eels and reading tide lines to find schools of stripers and then casting into the midst of them -- and getting one or more strikes per cast when it's hot. So you're not going for record or huge stripers here, but you're going for action which makes it ideal for (1) people who don't fish much (e.g., kids) where you need to be catching fish to keep them interested and (2) people who just like catch-and-release fishing both on the fly and on light spinning tackle. I think given the experience that a morning half-day is best, but that's probably something you should discuss with Captain Avery when you book your trip. The tides are huge in Barnstable so you're going to want to plan around that as well as other criteria that Captain Avery will factor in. Logistically, bring hats and other sun protection (e.g., buffs). Avery brings drinks. If you need some snack bars, then bring them yourself. She doesn't like spray sunscreen on the boat so do that in advance and bring cream along with you for the trip (and she seems to usually have some if you forget it yourself) All in all, a great and rather unique fishing experience. And when you're done, drive about 500 feet to Osterville Fish Too -- just across the marina -- for a lobster roll and some clam chowder to keep your perfect day on track.

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!
