About Us

Captain Jim

Over 30 years ago I was introduced to the sport of fishing.  Thanks to a Mother and Father who were passionate about being on the water and catching fish. I truly believe that New England has some of the best saltwater fishing in the world.  We have a game fish or species for everyone.  My life long Journey has been chasing Striped Bass. Along the way I have chased down everything from Tautog, Seabass,Fluke, Bluefish to the mighty Bluefin Tuna.  With over 30 years of recreational fishing and over 20 years of commercial fishing I have honed my skills as a fisherman. After years of guiding friends and family I decided  In 2020 that I wanted to share my experiences with the world and begin to guide professionally. I have always enjoyed seeing the thrill of someone landing their first Striped Bass among other species. My goal is to put you on the fish and make a memory.
