Dragonfly Sportfishing

Why choose when you can do it all in the same trip! The family fun trip consists of an hour of whale watching, an hour of fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish and an hour of seal watching. The trip can be tailored to your individual wishes. If your group does not wish to include fishing, we can divide our time equally amongst the whales and the seals. Come enjoy a great introduction to the marine wildlife of Cape Cod. This trip is ideal for kids of all ages! $450/ Three Hours (6 passengers max.) Call 774-212-0712 for availability.

Striped Bass are the quintessential Cape Cod game fish.  They arrive in Cape waters in May and stay through September.  Early season provides fantastic “skinny water” action on the flats of Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound.  Large schools of stripers feeding in very shallow water provide exciting sight casting opportunities on light tackle.  Dragonfly's tower offers a huge advantage in spotting these fish on the flats.  By early July, the fish gravitate to the cooler waters of the open Atlantic.  Hot spots range from the deeper waters east of Chatham to the famed rips off Monomoy Island and Nantucket.  Bluefish are often encountered mixed in with the bass.  These voracious predators, pound for pound are one of the hardest fighting fish around, provide a great battle on light tackle.

Varied fishing techniques including vertical jigging, casting artificial lures and drifting baits are all be productive.  These trips provide a challenge for  everyone  from the novice to the accomplished angler.  Custom fishing tackle is provided to maximize your opportunities to catch a trophy fish.

An apex predator of the north Atlantic, Bluefin Tuna grow to over ten feet in length, can weigh up to 1,400 pounds and swim at speeds up to 55 miles per hour.  Tuna arrive in Cape waters early in June and stay through Mid-October. Most of the fish we target on the Dragonfly are in the 40-250 pound range, but much larger fish frequently mix in with these schools.
 
There is top notch fishing gear on the boat.  Trolling rigs are 2-speed reels coupled with custom bent-butt stand-up rods.  Fighting belts and harnesses are also used.  We employ heavy spinning gear for casting. When conditions are favorable we can “run and gun”, utilizing Dragonfly’s speed and maneuverability to chase fast moving schools of tuna crashing bait on the surface.  Fish that are feeding deep in the water column are targeted with vertical jigging techniques. 

 
Regular sightings of humpback whales, minke whales, atlantic white-sided dolphins, and occasionally the rare northern right whale are an added bonus on these trips.  8-10 Hours  $1100.00  Please call us at 774-212-0712 for availability

The Atlantic Ocean east of Chatham is famous for large seasonal concentrations of whales.  Many species call Cape Cod home for the summer including Humpbacks, Finbacks, Blue, Minke, Pilot and the endangered Northern Right Whales.  Atlantic White-sided dolphins are also common visitors.  Take a private cruise on the Dragonfly to see these incredible creatures as they feed and play in their natural environment.  Frequent play behaviors of humpback whales include breaching, (jumping out of the water, and landing with a huge splash) slapping, (pounding the water with 20 foot long pectoral fins) lobtailing, (a sideways twisting motion with their powerful tails) and logging (lying motionless on the surface – a family naptime of sorts).

Be sure and bring your camera to capture all the action!  3 Hours/ $450.00 Maximum 6 Passengers Please call us at 774-212-0712 for availability
