To the southeast of Cape Cod lay the infamous Nantucket Shoals, home to the largest fluke in the Northeast.
And this year I'm happy to report that I've booked 9 Nantucket Shoals trophy fluke trips with one of the best captains around - Jimmy "The Greek" Koutalakis of On Time Sportfishing.
Captain Jimmy has become synonymous with trophy fluke and he is one of the leading authorities on fluke fishing in the Northeast.
2025 trophy fluke trips will happen on:
- Monday June 2nd
- Tuesday June 3rd
- Monday June 9th
- Tuesday June 10th
- Thursday July 31st
- Saturday August 9th
- Sunday August 10th
- Monday August 18th
- Wednesday August 20th
Registration for the first batch of June trophy fluke trips will take place on Saturday February 22nd at 9am. Registration for the second batch of July and August fluke trips will happen later on in the season.
Capt Jim knows the waters of Cape Cod like the back of his hand, and anglers travel from all over the world to fish with him. With his experience and dedication, he will do everything in his power to ensure your day on the water is a special one.
Jim's boat the On Time is a 34' SeaVee Z hull with new Mercury 400 HP outboards. She is fast and comfortable, and is equipped with the latest technology and gear.
There's also a marine toilet in the console which is an added bonus.
From comfortable seating to top-of-the-line equipment, Jimmy's 34' SeaVee is a safe and smooth ride.
During these trips captain Jim will bring you upwards of 40 miles southeast of Cape Cod and off Nantucket Island to where some of the largest fluke in the northeast can be found.
Plus you'll have a great chance of going home with a bag full of delicious fluke fillets! Fluke are really wonderful eating.
To learn more about what to expect, I'd recommend watching this episode from On The Water TV which was filmed onboard one of Jim's fluke fishing adventures.
As mentioned above, registration for the first batch of June trophy fluke trips will take place on Saturday February 22nd at 9am. Registration for the second batch of July and August fluke trips will happen later on in the season.
Members of MFCC will be the only people able to purchase spots on trophy fluke trips when registration opens at 9am on Saturday February 22nd. The cost will be $490/person. Members may also purchase spots onboard trips for their non-member friends and family.

Obviously it would be awesome to have you onboard one of these group fishing trips for fluke! They will be here before we know it.
In the meantime, here are more details about these trips:
- Number of anglers: 4-6
- Trip length: 8 hours
- Trip time: Around sunrise (exact time will be emailed to you 24hrs in advance)
- Port of departure: Bass River in South Yarmouth
- Area fished: Nantucket Shoals
- Techniques used: drifting using artificial lures and bait
- Gear and tackle will be provided but you're free to bring your own
- While not mandatory, it is customary to give charter captains a tip at the end of the trip. For these fluke trips, that would equate to around $70/person.
Tight lines!
