Sunday May brought perfect conditions for our 4-hour fishing charter in Boston Harbor with Stormbuster Charters. Leaving from Winthrop at 8:00 am, we enjoyed partly cloudy skies and comfortable temperatures—ideal for a spring day on the water. We tried multiple fishing techniques throughout the trip, including surf casting along the shoreline, bait fishing in promising spots, and trolling to cover more ground. While we didn't land any keeper-sized summer flounder this time, the constant action kept everyone engaged and learning. Captain Vinny Simeone shared local knowledge about Boston Harbor fishing spots and seasonal patterns, making this trip both educational and enjoyable for anglers of all skill levels.

Boston Harbor offers incredible fishing opportunities with its diverse underwater structure and healthy population of summer flounder and other species. Even when the keepers are playing hard to get, you'll still enjoy constant action and stunning views of the Massachusetts coastline and Boston skyline. Captain Vinny focuses on both catching fish and teaching you skills you can use on future trips.
Summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) are one of Boston Harbor's most interesting target species. These flatfish thrive in the harbor's mixed bottom areas, particularly where sand meets structure. They're ambush predators that lie camouflaged on the bottom, waiting to pounce on passing baitfish. In Winthrop waters, we target them using specialized techniques like drifting with bucktails tipped with squid or minnows, working the bait slowly along the bottom where these masters of disguise wait.
May through September provides prime summer flounder fishing in Boston Harbor, with the warming spring waters of May triggering increased feeding activity. These fish aren't just fun to catch with their aggressive strikes and spirited fights—they're also considered one of the finest eating fish in the Northeast, known for their delicate, white fillets with a mild, sweet flavor.
