Expert-Guided Winter Flounder Fishing on Cape Cod Bay

Reel in Winter Flounder on Cape Cod Bay

Get ready to drop a line for some of the tastiest fish swimming in Cape Cod Bay! Our half-day winter flounder trips are perfect for anglers looking to squeeze in some quality fishing without taking up the whole day. Whether you're a local pro or just visiting, we've got the know-how to put you on the fish. May and early June is prime time for these flatfish, and we're itching to get you out there.

What's the Deal?

We're talking 4 hours of pure fishing action, folks. You can choose morning or afternoon trips, so it's easy to fit around your schedule. If you're really keen, we can even extend the trip for more time on the water. Our experienced crew will show you the ropes, from baiting up to bringing in your catch. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the fight of a good-sized flounder on light tackle.

Fishing the Flats

Winter flounder fishing is all about finesse. We'll be using light tackle and small hooks baited with sea worms or clams. The key is to find those sandy or muddy bottom areas where flounder like to hang out. We'll drift slowly, letting our baits bump along the bottom. When you feel that telltale thump, it's time to set the hook! Don't worry if you're new to this – our crew will walk you through every step, from casting to reeling in your catch.

Target Species

Winter Flounder, also known as blackback flounder, are the stars of this show. These flatfish might not look like much, but they're crafty and put up a good fight for their size. They usually run about 1-3 pounds, but we sometimes hook into 4-5 pounders that'll really test your skills. May and early June is when they're most active in the bay, feeding up before they head to deeper waters. Anglers love targeting these fish not just for the fun of catching them, but also because they're absolutely delicious. There's a reason they're called "tide runners" – they know how to use the current to their advantage, so be ready for some sneaky moves!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been guiding trips on Cape Cod Bay for years, and there's something special about flounder fishing that keeps folks coming back. Maybe it's the challenge of outsmarting these bottom-dwellers, or the satisfaction of filling a cooler with prime eating fish. Whatever it is, our half-day trips hit that sweet spot. You get enough time to really get into the groove, learn some new tricks, and hopefully land a few keepers. Plus, with our small group size of just 5 guests, you're getting personalized attention that you won't find on bigger party boats.
