Seminar Series Fishing Boston's North Shore for Striped Bass and Bluefish Come fish the rocky coastline, sandy beaches and estuarine salt marshes along Cape Ann's shores with the On-Line Fishing Charters Team. Our captains have fished these waters for years and know them intimately. A day's fishing trip will often take you to a diverse group of fishing environments. Casting into surf breaking against the many rocky islands along this scenic coast allows anglers the thrill of hooking large stripers in their preferred habitat. As the captain positions the boat tight to the rocks, anglers cast their flies within inches of the shore.
Stripers often feed close to the rocks in the surf and foam.
Structure appears as waves surge in and out of the rocks. Your next stop may well be over sand bright enough and water shallow enough to remind you of the Bahama's. As we drift over these sand flats, sight-casting to roving schools of stripers, it is hard not to compare this experience to bonefishing. Stripers can be found on these flats during most of the day and are usually willing to take flies aggressively. The offshore waters combine an excellent opportunity to catch huge bluefish for a few weeks in the beginning of the summer.
