Fishbucket Sept 19

6 Hour Trip – Inshore (6AM) on September 19, 2024

Our small construction company organized a fishing trip for five colleagues on the Fishbucket, departing from Boston dock at 6am. By 7am, Captain Bradley expertly guided us to the optimal fishing spot, resulting in two catches. Chris, the experienced First Mate, efficiently set up lines, baited rods, and assisted with landing fish. Captain Bradley demonstrated exceptional knowledge of fishing locations, adapting to changes in the bite throughout the morning. Everyone on board successfully caught fish, with multiple double hookups and individual catches. The teamwork and hospitality displayed by Captain Bradley and Chris ensured a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience. We extend our gratitude to both & Highly Recommend the "Fishbucket Sportfishing"

8 Hour – Full day (AM) on June 23, 2024

Capt. Mike and F.M. Zach pulled out all the stops for an awesome day for our party of five on the water. They pulled up early at the dock in Boston Harbor for our 5am departure and we wasted no time hunting for stripers with the live bait fish already on board. We went home with three keepers for three families, photos of some monsters that had to go back, plus a couple dozen mackerel that are as tasty for us as they would have been for the stripers had they gotten to them first. Mike and Zach didn’t take a moment’s rest for the full 8 hours we were out, constantly monitoring the word on the “street” where the best fish were to be found, scanning the waters with four sonars, and beckoning our targets with irresistible chum and lures. They were the most genial hosts, happy to explain everything and personable. After 8 hours, we were beat, but Mike and Zach were off to take care of another party. Amazing, really. Highly recommended. I do hope to go out again some time.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM) on August 18, 2024

The four of us, three generations, all caught striped bass. Captain and crew could not have treated us better or given us a better afternoon of fishing. They were patient, helping us out as needed, treating all of us (ranging in age from 76 down to 14) respectfully. If we can make it work in our calendars, we hope to make this an annual event - and, if possible, will book again with Captain Mike.

4Hour Evening – Inshore- 5pm-9pm on July 27, 2024

Captain Mike and First Mate John are AWESOME!! What a beautiful way to see Boston by getting out into the harbour waters and the SUNSET WAS ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!! These guys are so friendly and knowledgeable, happy to share with us their experiences and everything they know about the area. We appreciated their insights and their relentless efforts to try and get fish on our lines. Our experience was top notch, we highly recommend! Thank you Mike & John, what a blast!!! All the best to you both!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore (6AM) on October 12, 2024

We had six people for this 6 AM inshore fishing trip. Each and everyone of us had an amazing time and we walked away bringing home 9 fish and in total we caught 14. If you’re looking for a great fishing trip for you and your friends or family, I highly recommend Mike as a captain.
