Epic Offshore Fishing | Tuna & Sharks | Legit Fish

Boston's Best Offshore Fishing Adventure

Hey there, fellow anglers! Ready to ditch the shore and chase some serious fish? Our full-day offshore trips out of Boston are where it's at. We're talking up to 40 miles out, where the big boys play. Bluefin tuna, sharks, stripers, blues - you name it, we're after it. This ain't your grandpa's fishing pond - it's the wild Atlantic, and it's calling your name.

What to Expect on the Water

First things first - we run these trips Friday through Sunday, so you can kick off or cap your weekend with some serious rod-bending action. We'll load up the boat with top-notch gear, and our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand. Expect an early start - the tuna don't sleep in, and neither do we. We'll cruise out past the harbor, watching the Boston skyline fade as we hit the open ocean. Once we're in prime fishing grounds, it's game on. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time offshore, we've got you covered. Just bring some grub, plenty of water, and maybe a rain jacket - the weather can turn on a dime out here.

Techniques & Gear Rundown

Alright, let's talk shop. Depending on what we're chasing, we might be trolling for tuna, chumming for sharks, or live-lining for stripers. We've got a full arsenal of techniques up our sleeve. For tuna, we often use heavy-duty stand-up gear with 80-130 lb test. You'll learn the art of working those big circle hooks and fighting a fish that can tow the boat. Shark fishing? That's a whole different ballgame. We might set up a chum slick (heads up, there's a $30 surcharge for that) and wait for the toothy critters to show up. When they do, hold on tight! For stripers and blues, we might switch to lighter tackle and work the rips and ledges. Whatever the target, you'll be using top-of-the-line gear and learning from the best in the biz.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the heavyweights you might tangle with out here:

Bluefin Tuna: These are the crown jewels of Northeast fishing. Bluefin can top 1,000 pounds, though most we catch are in the 100-300 pound range. They're lightning fast, crazy strong, and will test every bit of your fishing skills. Best time to target them? Late summer into fall, but they can show up anytime from June to November. The fight of your life, guaranteed.

Shortfin Mako Shark: If you want an adrenaline rush, makos deliver. These are the speedsters of the shark world, known for their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs. They're most common in the warmer months, from July to September. Makos are smart, aggressive, and will make you earn every inch of line.

Blue Shark: The most common shark we encounter, blues are abundant and fun to catch. They're not as big or feisty as makos, but they're perfect for anglers looking to cut their teeth on shark fishing. You can find them all summer long, often in good numbers.

Striped Bass: The beloved "striper" is a Northeast icon. These fish can grow over 50 pounds and put up a great fight on lighter tackle. We target them from spring through fall, often finding big ones offshore that the inshore guys can't reach. There's nothing like the thrill of a big bass crushing a topwater lure.

Bluefish: Don't underestimate these toothy terrors. Bluefish might not be the biggest, but pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. They travel in schools and when they're biting, the action is non-stop. Plus, they're delicious if you like a stronger-flavored fish.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I still get pumped every time we leave the dock. There's something special about being offshore, away from the crowds, with nothing but open water and the promise of big fish. Our regulars come back year after year because each trip is different. One day you might be battling a giant tuna, the next you're in the middle of a bluefish blitz. It's addictive, it's challenging, and it's never, ever boring.

The Nitty Gritty Details

We can take up to 4 anglers on these full-day trips. That means more room to fish and plenty of personal attention from the crew. We don't provide meals, so pack a cooler with sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. Trust me, you'll work up an appetite out there. Don't forget sunscreen, a hat, and maybe some motion sickness meds if you're prone to it. We've got all the fishing gear you need, but feel free to bring your own if you've got a lucky rod.
