What You'll Experience

Captain Jimmy will take you to where the true trophy fluke live— up to 40-50 miles from the dock to the legendary Nantucket Shoals and other hot spots southeast of the Cape. These aren't the typical 2-3 pounders you catch in the bay. You'll be targeting absolute monster doormats that can exceed 10 pounds. Jumbo black sea bass can also be caught during the August trips.

You'll fish aboard Jimmy's pristine 34' SeaVee center console—one of the finest fishing machines on Cape Cod. The twin 400hp outboards get you to the grounds quickly and comfortably, and the boat is equipped with top-tier electronics to put you on fish all day long.

Fluke fillets are absolutely delicious, and you'll have an excellent chance of going home with a cooler full of premium table fare.
