Highlights of The Best Experience

On this Boston Harbor fishing charter, you'll experience a variety of fishing techniques tailored to current conditions. We'll try surf casting along productive shorelines, set up for bait fishing in proven spots, and do some trolling to cover more water when needed. This versatility gives you the best chance at success regardless of what the fish are doing that day.

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.

Local Species Insights: Summer Flounder

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.
