Our Boats...
26' SeaCraft Master Angler
In 2013, (our 13th season in the fishing charter business) we celebrated with the purchase of our second 26 SeaCraft Master Angler center console offshore fishing machine, powered with twin Mercury Verado 250s. Similar to its light blue twin, his vessel is equipped with top of the line high-definition Garmin electronics including the 12" touch screen GPS chartplotter, radar, and depth sounder, while other features include CD player, cellular phone, satellite phone, VHF marine radio, EPIRB, as well as live bait wells, outriggers, and night vision lighting. Our boat is fully equipped with all required Coast Guard safety equipment. Please let us know if you will be bringing children (under 90lbs) on board so that we have an adequate number of child-rated life vests.*** More Photos Coming Soon!

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
- Black Sea Bass - May - June; Recreational Black Sea Bass season opens May 11, 2013
- Groundfish (Cod, Haddock, Pollock) - April - May; Recreational Cod Fishing season opens April 16, 2013
- Bluefin Tuna - June through October *late 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!

- Hello Captain Bobby and Elena - Just wanted to drop you a line regarding the GREAT trip we had on the Reel Deal last Friday morning. The fishing was awesome and as usual the Captain knew right where to find the fish. The boys have enjoyed their new found "celebrity status" with those pictures on your website. Thanks again for a great trip and enjoy the rest of your summer. 7/13/12 Fishing Charter

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.
