My Fishing Cape Cod group fishing trips are an affordable way to experience some of the best fishing Cape Cod has to offer. In addition, these trips are an excellent opportunity to learn and meet other people from My Fishing Cape Cod. Plus you might even get a chance to be on TV!
Online registration for 2023 group fishing trips will open for members of My Fishing Cape Cod on April 22nd at 8am. When registration opens, members will receive a link via email to the registration page where you can select spots onboard trips and submit payment.
There's usually a high demand for spots onboard these trips. If you are interested in joining a group trip, then please click here to receive a reminder. That way I can send you email reminders so you don't forget and accidentally miss out on your chance to register.
This year we'll be offering a bunch of different fishing trips for tautog, haddock, black sea bass, stripers and bluefin tuna. Costs typically range between $240-$600 per person depending on the type of trip. Please continue reading below to learn more about what to expect!
The Group Fishing Concept
Charter fishing is traditionally not cheap. Private trips with quality captains often cost between $800-$1,500 (or more) depending on the type of charter. My Fishing Cape Cod group trips help make the experience more affordable by offering trips on a per-person basis.
When you go on a My Fishing Cape Cod group trip, you'll be fishing with either myself and/or captain Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters. This year I might also offer a few trips with some other captains, but the majority will be with Cullen.
Below are the dates I have scheduled so far for the 2023 season. Usually these spots sell out quickly, but I promise I will do my best to get you out fishing this year. For example, if all the trips sell out immediately, then we'll try to arrange more dates.
Costs typically range between $240-$600 per person depending on the type of trip. So have a look below at the trips I have currently have on the schedule, and please feel free to reach out with any questions by leaving a comment below.
Surfcasting for Stripers
This spring, summer and fall I will be offering a limited number of surfcasting trips for striped bass. These are fun trips for beginners, as well as for more experienced anglers. This is a good opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle and catch some fish while enjoying some of Cape Cod's most scenic beaches.
Odds are we'll drive out on the beach or do some light hiking to reach secluded and productive fishing spots. Together we'll enjoy fresh, cool, salty air while having a great chance at catching some fish. It ought to be an adventure!
Surfcasting dates are TBD. I will post them here once I get a chance to check the tides.
Tautog & Haddock
This April and May we're planning on offering group fishing trips for tautog and haddock. The weather this time of year can be challenging, so what I've decided to do is compile a list of members who are interested in fishing for tog and/or haddock.
In order to take advantage of weather windows, during April and May we will schedule group trips for tog and haddock 24-72 hours in advance. Please click the button below to be notified whenever we schedule a trip for tautog and/or haddock.
Cullen's brand new 33' Conch center console is a huge fishing platform and will offer everyone ample elbow room for fishing. All fishing rods, bait and tackle will be provided. Cullen is also happy to fillet your tautog and haddock for you.
Black Sea Bass
Black sea bass trips typically depart from Taylor Point Marina in Bourne or Falmouth Harbor Marine Park. Typically you'll depart at around 6-8am and return 5 hours later. I will be in touch with you via email in the days leading up to the trip to confirm the exact time and place of departure.

Giant Bluefin Tuna
During these trips you will be targeting giant bluefin tuna. This is the type of fishing you see on Wicked Tuna. Giant tunas are some of the largest fish in the ocean, and in past years captain Cullen has caught giants as large as 1,100 pounds.
Any tuna caught onboard these trips will be sold by captain Cullen and you as part of the crew will not receive a percentage of the sale. In other words, you won't be bringing home any meat for dinner or earning a paycheck, but you will be going home with invaluable tuna fishing information that cannot be obtained anywhere else.
There is also a high likelihood that you will see dozens of adult humpback whales as they breach and bubble feed. Giant tuna fishing with captain Cullen can be an incredible and exhilarating experience, but there can be a lot of waiting involved too.
The perfect crew for giant tuna fishing consists of people who are in it for the adventure of heading offshore and having a chance to do battle with the largest fish in the ocean. Techniques used during this trip will be live-lining bait (most likely mackerel) on 80 class conventional setups. All gear and tackle will be provided.
Expect to depart around 5am and return around 8 hours later. Port of departure varies and will depend on the weather. Final details will be emailed to you 24 hours in advance.

School Bluefin Tuna
During these trips you will be targeting smaller bluefin tuna in the 50-200 pound range. These are smaller tunas that you can keep and bring home to eat.
Techniques used during these trips could include casting and vertical jigging with spinning tackle or trolling with conventional tackle. Occasionally live bait will be used if the fish are finicky. All gear will be provided.
Expect to depart around 5am and return around 8 hours later. Port of departure varies and will depend on where the fish are biting best. Final details will be emailed to you 24 hours in advance.

About Captain Cullen
For our 2023 group fishing trips we'll once again be teaming up with captain Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters. Captain Cullen has years of experience fishing the waters surrounding Cape Cod and the Islands. He also has an extensive network which helps him stay on top of the fish.
Since 2015 we've been running group trips with Cullen for haddock, tautog, black sea bass, stripers, bluefish, and bluefin tuna.
In total we've run well over 100 trips with Cullen and they are always an adventure and a great learning experience for everyone onboard.
This year Cullen will be running a 33' Conch center console boat which is a fishing machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm currently developing this list of frequently asked questions. Please check back in a day or two if you'd like to view the complete list.
Captain Cullen always has plenty of ice and tons of space for storing fish onboard his boat. So there is no need to bring an insulated bag or cooler onboard any of our group trips. However, it would be a good idea to have a cooler kept inside your vehicle with plenty of ice, so you can transport your fish home iced down.
Captain Cullen will have plenty of high quality rods, reels and tackle onboard, so there is no need to bring anything. However, you are welcome to bring your own fishing rod and tackle if you'd prefer.
No, we do not allow alcohohol onboard group fishing trips.
No, there is not a bathroom onboard the boat. Sometimes there is a bathroom at the marina, but if the trip is departing very early in the morning, then there is a high likelihood that marina bathrooms will be locked.

Thank you for reading this information about our 2023 group fishing trips. It would be wonderful to see you aboard for one of these exciting adventures!
