St. Pete Sport Fishing

What Fish Can We Catch?

You’re wondering, “What will we catch? Cape Cod’s south side is a fisherman’s paradise, offering a rich variety of species. While our primary focus is on the exhilarating pursuit of Striped Bass, the trophy fish of the North Atlantic, and the hard-fighting Bluefish that arrive with the warmer waters of late July and August, we also offer specialized trips targeting other sought-after species.

Targeting Striped Bass and Bluefish:

  • Striped Bass: These majestic fish are our top priority, promising an unforgettable angling experience and a delectable reward. Known for their firm, white flesh and sweet, mild flavor, Striped Bass are a prized catch both for their fighting spirit and their culinary versatility.
  • Bluefish: These fish are renowned for their aggressive strikes and powerful, surging runs, delivering a truly thrilling angling experience. Their sheer tenacity and fighting spirit will keep you on your toes until they’re boat-side.

Additional Fishing Trip Options:

  • Black Sea Bass: Enjoy a rewarding bottom-fishing experience targeting these delicious fish. Our early-season trips are a great option to get in on the action at the start of the season.
  • Scup: Perfect for family outings or kids’ trips, Scup are plentiful and fun to catch.
  • Fluke (Summer Flounder): These flatfish offer a unique challenge and are prized for their delicate flavor. Look for our 6-hour extended-day or full-day options for this one.
  • Haddock & Cod: Longer trips into deeper waters allow us to target these classic ground fish. This is also a full-day option.
  • Sharks (Occasional): While not our primary target, we do occasionally hook into various shark species, providing an exciting and unexpected thrill.

Whether you’re after the thrill of chasing Stripers and Blues, the satisfaction of landing a cooler full of Black Sea Bass, Scup, or Fluke, or the excitement of hooking into a deep water Cod, Haddock, or even the occasional shark, St. Pete Sport Fishing has a trip tailored to your preferences.

My son and I went out on a warm, calm afternoon. Not classic fishing weather or time of day. Captain Doug and Mate Joe got us on the fish anyway and we brought in a haul of striped bass. What a day! These guys know how to get on the fish. Period.

We had an epic morning fishing with Captain Doug and first mate Joe. We caught and released 23 stripers, nearly all 30 plus inches in size with our largest at 40 inches. Highly recommend St Pete Sport Fishing.

I had an outstanding trip with St Pete Sportfishing! Capt. Doug put us right on the striped bass and the action was nonstop. We caught a lot of fish and had an absolute blast from start to finish. Capt. Doug is not only an excellent fisherman, but also a true professional and experienced boat captain. He knows the waters incredibly well, works hard to keep you on the fish, and makes the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and his passion for fishing really shows. If you’re looking for a great striped bass charter with a knowledgeable captain who delivers results, I highly recommend St Pete Sportfishing. We’ll definitely be booking another trip!

Captain Doug and first mate Bob are amazing and so knowledgeable! They were so encouraging and patient with our three boys who got an exceptional introduction to their first fishing charter. We caught a ton of fish and had three happy boys!

A top 10 day for a Grandpa and his eleven year old grandson out with Capt Doug and first mate. They had the best time and were very impressed with the instructions and then amount of fish they were able to catch. The first request when they came home was to book another trip! Highly recommend.

My son and I booked a 6-hour striper trip with CAPT Doug on July 23. We stayed busy catching more than 20 quality fish, a few exceeding 36”. It was one of the best experiences we’ve had fishing the cape.

I booked St. Pete Sport Fishing for a half day trip today, and boy was I thrilled! The fog was thick to start the day, but luckily Captain Doug and First Mate Bobby were able to safely navigate the Cape waters. It didn’t take long before we were on fish. There were three of us, and we all landed a lot striped bass right away. We almost lost count of the total for the day (around 25), many of which were bigger than slot. What a fun day on the water! I said it in my review last year, but I’ll make the claim again that St. Pete Sport Fishing is the number one charter on Cape Cod. Thank you for a great day on the water!
