Early Spring Striped Bass, Stripers, Rockfish

may striped bass
available species - seasonal rating
Striped Bass - "out of control"
Bluefish - excellent
Black Sea Bass - good

May is the beginning of Cape Cod's fishing season. Striped bass and bluefish begin to show up in Vineyard Sound. You'll catch so many stripers at this time of the year, that your arms will hurt! Large schools of stripers (striped bass are also known as rockfish) are migrating north through Vineyard Sound, and they are hungry! This is the time of year around Cape Cod when the striped bass fishing comes back to life as they feed on schools of squid, herring and mackerel. Mixed in with the striped bass are a handfull of black sea bass.

May sees bluefish feeding on squid in the warm shallows of Popponessett and Cotuit. They are also a good fighter – great for family trips and light tackle enthusiasts.

full day - 5AM to 1PM - 8 hour charter - $799
half day - 1:45PM to 7:45PM - 6 hour charter - $599
