About
Chatham Sport Fishing is one of the only charters on the Cape that offers charters of less than 4 hours. Trips of 2, 3 and 4 hours are family-friendly. After years of taking our own children out fishing, we've recognized the need for a shorter charter for the young ones or those who just wish to try fishing the Cape without a 4 hour commitment. We specialize in striped bass and blues fishing.

Bruce’s Whaler Outrage 25 with twin 150 Yami’s is a dream boat. Have been fishing with Bruce for 4-5 years now, always knowledgeable and always on the fish. He will set the trip up according to tides and he is a super teacher on the water and I understand in previous occupation. For guidance out to the grounds, he has unmatched knowledge of the area and the capabilities of the whaler, and he provides the most stable, safe, ride even in tough conditions. An absolute must if you like to fish and you are anywhere near the Chatham area. His techniques and knowledge catch fish when others are having problems! Check out our pic’s! Chris and Martha Boehm.

Glad you had a great time, Chris! Always great to see you again and have some fun on the water. (And yes, I taught at an inner city high school for 30 years!) Thanks for the great review...

We had a great trip 2 hour with our 3 young boys (8, 6, and 4 years-old). Captain Bruce knew exactly where to go and we started to catch fish almost immediately. We all were able to enjoy the beautiful landscape on our way out and see lots of other sea life, including baby seals. One of our sons did get seasick towards the end of our trip, but Captain Bruce got us back to shore as quickly and safely as possible. He was very knowledgeable about the area and has a passion towards what he does! We really enjoyed our time out on the water with Captain Bruce!

What an amazing and memorable experience! Captain Bruce is the BEST guide. We had a terrific day on the water. Captain Bruce knew exactly where to catch the fish and was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Not to mention the fish we caught tasted amazing for dinner that night! We can’t wait to join him again on another charter.

Awesome family fishing experience. Signed up for a 4-hour outing, and were having such a good time, we stayed out for an extra hour. Everyone caught multiple fish, including “the big one” so we had an excellent fresh fish dinner that evening. Captain Bruce even gave us some cooking suggestions. Leading into the trip, Captain Bruce was very organized, promptly communicated, and had a clean boat with tackle all ready for us. He gave clear instructions and really knew where to go to catch some great strippers. Highly recommend this very enjoyable fishing excursion.

This was our second trip with Captain Bruce.
He knows where to find fish.
He is also very fun to have as your
Captain. Our group was 2 adults and three teens.
We all had a great time! I strongly recommend Chatham Sport Fishing for a family fishing trip.

Thanks Bruce for an amazing outing. I was exhausted catching so many stripers in a couple hours. I think it was 15 - 20 stripers and a bunch of bluefish @ bearse & hankerchief shoals @Monomoy. It's amazing how they bite inside the rip @ the shoals. We even had a bunch of double headers. Great day... thanks again. Now that you are a celebrity, don't forget to text me back!

Bruce knows where the stripers are!
We did the 2 hour trip and fished the rips of Monomoy island
Slow start then bam. Fish on over and over
Caught couple keepers!
Bruce is very knowledgeable of the fishing ground.
Usually a 2 hour trip is all you need.
Great fishing!

Third time fishing with Captain Bruce. He is a veteran fisherman who knows where to head to catch stripers (stripe..ahs). We didn't go far off the coast, just where the tides come and currents come together to churn up the fishing.
Very very enjoyable to throw a few lines and have the thrill of reeling in a keeper (or keep..ah). Get there early. Bruce suggested we leave 6:30. We have three kids, so we pushed it back to 7:30. Still had plenty of bites and one keeper. Great time on the water with family.

Captain Bruce came highly recommended through a close friend of the family and he delivered. Despite the crowded seas with other charters, somehow Captain Bruce managed to hook 3 beauties in a matter of 30 minutes. My family and I had a blast. We can't wait until next year!
Thanks Captain Bruce for a great day!!

My brother, father and friend hit the waters off of Chatham with Captain Bruce, and it turned out to be our best fishing trip to date. We caught seven stripers including five keepers. Bruce filleted the fish on the ride back and even gave us instructions on how to grill bass to perfection, which we did for lunch less than an hour after getting off of the boat. (It was delicious!) Bruce is a great guy and is very knowledgable of the Cape Cod waters. Thanks again, Bruce!
