Great Days Out With Marthas Vineyard Fishing Charters

By Jeanette Riggs


Each year many people enjoy a memorable day out with Marthas Vineyard fishing charters. These trips are one of the best ways to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends. Every level of experience is catered to, from the complete beginner all the way up to the most seasoned fisherman.

The charter boats range in size significantly. The smaller boats that are around twenty to twenty five feet in length usually carry around six people. They are perfect for small groups or families. Children love to go out fishing and it is a wonderful way to spend time together. All the tackle is provided and even someone who has never fished before will soon be reeling in some big fish.

Each boat is different and designed to carry varying numbers of people. The smaller boats are perfect for groups of ten or less. Charters are becoming increasingly popular with families as it is a great way to spend time together. Children are welcome to join the fun and all their tackle is also provided. They will be thrilled to fish along side their parents and have every bit as much chance of catching some fish.

Most charters are looking for bluefish, tuna and striped bass. The waters off the Massachusetts coast are teaming with these fish. Striped bass are particularly popular as they are very easy to cook and provide a generous amount of fresh tasty meat. The captain and crew are usually quite happy to help gun and clean the fish as soon as they are caught. They can then be packed in ice to keep them as fresh as possible.

It is usually very easy to book on line. Rates usually depend on how many people are fishing on each trip. Those looking for individual instruction will also find plenty of great charters to choose from. The final decision is often made by choosing the name of the boat. The boats seem to have a personality all their own and many fishermen return time after time to fish from the same vessel.

Charter trips can run for a few hours, half days, full days or even over night trips to really get out into open waters. Before taking this type of excursion it is important to spend time on a boat to really get the feel for it. An experienced captain will be able to talk with each client and work out the best package for their individual needs. A big group will have completely different needs to a lone client who wants to learn how to fly fish.

Safety on board should always be a priority. Life jackets should be assessable at all times and the captain should review safety procedure with the guests and crew as they set out on their trip.

Spending time out on a boat is the perfect way to relax and unwind. Great friends, food and fishing just go together. Marthas Vineyard fishing charters are able to provide a great day out that is suitable for complete beginners up to experienced anglers.
