What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Dennis, Massachusetts for the first time?

It was an unusually warm week and the water temp increased about 10 degrees. The stripers literally disappeared. Our captain warned us of that before we left (very honest guy) but we decided to go anyway and enjoy the weather and take our chances fishing. Usually, Strippers and Blues are popular in October and November but not in that warm water. We still had a great trip.

Definitely go with St. Pete charters and pay attention to the gear list and directions with regard to sun screen etc. This will make things much more fun for you. Captain Doug will ensure you have a great time!!!

Although the weather beat us up quite a bit the fishing was worth it! Captain John was very professional and knowledgeable. He put our safety and comfort as priority. The Kate Jim was patient as well as knowledgeable for this first time striper angler. I had a ball fishing with these guys! You will too if you book with the Grey Dolphin Sportsfishing Charter. The marina was easily located and there was ample parking.

If you go for Stripers go in June or maybe beginning of July although we did catch four keepers there was alot of dead time not catching any fish.But Wayne really did a great effort trying to find fish

Capt Bob and Jared were terrific. I caught an amazing striper...made my day! My 15yr old son was with me too, he had a blast! Fishing cape cod bay is a beautiful spot. Lots to do in town of Dennis (beautiful beaches too) before or after the charter...spend the whole day in that part of the cape! Stoddy

My husband and grandson took the trip. I was ill so didn't go. Our grandson enjoyed it. They caught 2 fish that were too small to keep and one that was too large to keep.

Have always loved fishing in this area, the water is beautiful and we never go home with empty coolers.

It's windy out there so dress appropriately. Motion sickness prevention could be useful if you have minimal experience on a boat in big water.

Dress for the severe temperature changes, hot to cold and back again. Also be weary about where you are on the boat, as you could get splashed a lot from waves or barely touched.

The fishing was better and in mid June. But we had a great time fishing on this trip. We caught around 30-40 fish with only a few keepers over 28 inches

Book a trip with Captain Mark Haley on the Magnanimous for an unparalleled experience.

After heavy rains in the area, feedings may take a day or two to get back to normal.

Consider coming in May or June when the water is cooler and fish are reportedly bigger.

Book your trip early in your visit so you can reschedule if the weather does not cooperate

Soak up the sun, scenery and be patient waiting on the fish! Bring water and sunscreen ☺️

Go out with experienced captains and mates like Dan and Tom on the salt shaker!
