On the Water

Fishing Rockport

Rockport offers a classic New England fishing experience. The waters here are characterized by rocky shorelines, kelp beds, and offshore ledges that attract and hold striped bass and bluefish. We can cast to fish feeding along the coast or venture out to work the structure for more aggressive bites. The season typically runs from late spring through fall, with striped bass being a consistent target and bluefish providing exciting action, especially in the summer. A charter out of Rockport is a great way to experience the beauty of Cape Ann while enjoying productive fishing for these popular species. It's a fantastic area for fly fishing and light tackle.
