Truro Fishing Charters
Fishing is an activity that can be enjoyed by everyone, from children who have never held a rod and reel to experienced fishermen with world records to their credit. And for a great place to learn to fish or to try for a trophy, you can't beat Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Close to prolific Stellwagen Bank and Billingsgate Shoal, and at the confluence of currents from the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Cod Bay, scenic Pamet Harbor in Truro is the ideal place from which to begin a great fishing excursion. Aboard Pamet River Charters' comfortable new Alemarle 268 Fisherman "Nauset", you'll find a family friendly atmosphere for that perfect day on the water. Even if you're not interested in fishing, you can book a whale watching trip or just a cruise around the bay. And those of you who suffer from mal-de-mer will find much to see in Provincetown and lots to explore on the Outer Cape, while the rest of your party goes fishing.
When it comes to fishing charters, the first consideration is the captain. The best captains catch most of the fish. Pamet River Charters is lucky to have Joe Francis, a Cape Cod legend with 40 years of charter and commercial fishing experience. Joe has that 6th sense that allows him to think like a fish and know where thay are. Bob Gabriel, a full-time mate who is a teacher in the off-season, complements the captain perfectly. The two make a combination that is impossible for the fish to beat.
A great captain can catch fish from any vessel. But it's so much easier for the captain, and so much nicer for the guests, when the boat is comfortable, seaworthy, and equipped with the latest electronic aids. The Nauset handles rough seas nicely (that doesn't mean you won't bounce a little), and the cabin offers all the comforts of home.
Cape Cod is a remnant of the last ice age. Sticking out into the open sea, it sits in a unique location, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Cape Cod Bay on the west, and Stellwagen Bank to the north. The resulting conditions are perfect for attracting bait fish like sand eels, herring and menhaden. And where there's bait, there are predators. Game fish passing by on migration include striped bass, bluefish, and the king of oceanic beasts, bluefin tuna. Many of the migrants can't resist the easy meals and settle in from May to October. Other species like cod, haddock and pollock spend their entire lives near the Cape. So whatever your preference -- fishing for stripers, blues, cod or tuna, whale watching, or just a nice cruise, come on aboard with Pamet River Charters.
