Springtime Group Trip Schedule & Prices

by Ryan Collins

Online registration for springtime group fishing trips will open up on Saturday February 24th at 9am sharp. 

This spring we'll have a bunch of group fishing trips for tautog, sea bass and stripers.  I'm also going to post a few surfcasting trips!  

Members of My Fishing Cape Cod will be the first to receive an email with a link to where you can register for trips on Saturday February 24th at 9am sharp.

This is also the same day as the season premiere of the new season of My Fishing Cape Cod TV, so it ought to be fun!

To learn more about how My Fishing Cape Cod group fishing trips work, and to view available dates and prices, please read below.

Tautog Trips

Prices are for My Fishing Cape Cod members.  Members may purchase spots onboard trips for their non-member friends and family.  All trips will be offered to members first.  

If any spots are left vacant, then spots will be offered to the general public, but at a higher per person rate.

$249/person member rate

  • Friday April 26th - morning
  • *Friday April 26th - morning with captain Tyler of Flatliner Charters
  • Sunday April 28th - morning
  • Sunday April 28th - morning with captain Tyler of Flatliner Charters
  • Saturday May 4th - morning
  • *Friday May 10th - morning

*I will be onboard trips marked with an asterisk.

Tautog are delicious and they are amazing fighters! During these trips you will be fishing with light spinning rods and green crabs for bait.

The springtime tautog bite last year off Cape Cod was lights out!

Plus you'll have a great chance of going home with a bag full of delicious tautog fillets!

Tautog are really wonderful eating...

Tautog are absolutely delicious.  Plus their fillets freeze remarkably well.

During these trips you'll be fishing with Capt. Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters on his brand new 33' Conch center console.

If for some reason Cullen isn't able to do the trip, then our backup captain is my friend Capt. Tyler Putney of Flatliner Charters who has a 27' Whitewater center console.  Tyler is also very dialed-in on the tautog.

One question I often get asked is whether or not there is a bathroom onboard, which there is not. We encourage women to join these trips and we often have women onboard, so I just wanted to mention that. 

Trip details:

  • Max number of anglers: 6
  • Trip length: 4-5 hours
  • Trip time: Around sunrise (exact time will be emailed to you 24hrs in advance)
  • Port of departure: Typically Taylor's Point in Bourne or Falmouth Harbor (subject to change based on weather)
  • Area fished: Buzzard's Bay or Elizabeth Islands
  • Techniques used: anchoring over rock piles, fishing with light spinning rods and jigs tipped with green crabs
  • Gear and tackle will be provided

Perhaps the best part about sea bass fishing is the food.  This is as high quality and fresh seafood as you can get.

Anyone who goes on a Memorial Day Weekend sea bass trip will be able to supply their friends and family with a great meal!

Striped bass is what most folks get really excited about.  Fishing for stripers is the most popular type of trip because these fish get bit, fight hard, are beautiful, and often attack topwater plugs and often baits, and sometimes produce incredible blitzes and adrenaline pumping action.

During these striper trips you may fish live bait, cast plugs, or vertical jig with spinning tackle. Each person onboard will be provided with a rod, reel and tackle.

During these trips you'll be fishing with Capt. Cullen Lundholm of Cape Star Charters on his brand new 33' Conch center console.  The June 22nd trip will be with captain Tyler Putney of Flatliner Charters who has a 27' Whitewater center console.  Tyler is also very dialed-in on the striper bite.

Captain Cullen will be running a brand new 33' Conch center console which is perhaps the most spacious fishing platform on the market.

Captain Cullen Tyler runs a 27' Whitewater center console which is also an exceptional boat for striper fishing.

One question I often get asked is whether or not there is a bathroom onboard, which there is not. We encourage women to join these trips and we often have women onboard, so I just wanted to mention that. 

Trip details:

  • Max number of anglers: 5
  • Trip length: 5 hours
  • Trip time: Around sunrise (exact time will be emailed to you 24hrs in advance)
  • Port of departure: Cullen and Tyler trailer their boats to numerous harbors throughout Cape Cod. This allows them to go to where the best fishing for stripers is happening. The port of departure will be emailed to you at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Area fished: Wherever the best striper fishing is happening. 
  • Techniques used: It will depend on what's working best. You may cast plugs, fish live bait, or vertical jig with spinning tackle. Each angler onboard will be provided with a rod, reel and tackle.
  • Gear and tackle will be provided

Guided Shore Fishing Trips

Prices are for My Fishing Cape Cod members.  Members may purchase spots on trips for their non-member friends and family.  All trips will be offered to members first.  

If any spots are left vacant, then spots will be offered to the general public, but at a higher per person rate.

$50 online deposit + $300 cash on day of trip

  • Sunday May 5th - afternoon/evening (12pm-8pm)
  • Tuesday May 7th - afternoon/evening (1:30pm-9:30pm)
  • Monday May 13th - morning/afternoon (6:30am-2:30pm)
  • Wednesday May 15th - morning/afternoon (8:30am-4:30pm)
  • Friday May 24th - night (9pm-3am)
  • Wednesday June 5th - evening (6pm-midnight)
  • Thursday June 13th - evening (7pm-1am)

*Trips in bold will require a 1.5 mile hike through gravely sand and then marshland to reach a remote spot that fishes well during the daytime. You'll definitely need to be in decent physical shape in order to do these trips! These trips are better for anglers who have some experience.

Trips not marked in bold will involve a walk of about 1/2 of a mile on somewhat firm gravely beach to reach the spot. From there we'll fish and walk at a slow pace for the rest of the trip. The return walk back will also be about 1/2 of a mile.  These trips are better for beginners.

Springtime is a great time to hit the beach and catch a striper from shore!

During these trips we'll be fishing some of the Cape's most scenic 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!

I can't guarantee you'll catch a monster striped bass during this trip, however you will have an excellent chance of catching fish, learning something new, and spending time in a beautiful Cape Cod environment.

Trip details:

  • equipment can be provided or you can bring your own
  • 7-9 foot rods with 30lb test will be perfect
  • swimming plugs, 1oz paddle tails, pencil poppers will all work
  • there will be a maximum of 3 anglers plus me

In Conclusion

Trips will sail in less than ideal weather conditions, but that you will not go out if the weather is unsafe. If the trip is cancelled due to weather, then you will receive a refund.

Please also understand that due to the logistics of organizing these trips, we aren't able to offer refunds if you cancel your reservation less than one week in advance, or if you do not show up the morning of your trip.

Please feel free to reach out or post a comment below if you have any questions.  I'm looking forward to springtime group fishing trip registration which will once again open up on Saturday February 24th at 9am.

Tight lines! 🎣

I'm fortunate to have grown up on the beach, and I've been fishing since kindergarten. I have great family, friends and fishing experiences to be thankful for. Just being out there is enough-catching fish is just a bonus!


    • Hi Gary! Happy to help!

      The reason you can’t find where to signup is because signup has not opened yet. Tomorrow morning, Saturday Feb. 24th at 9am, you and the rest of the membership will receive a link in your email to where you can register for trips.

      LMK if I can help answer anything else. 👍
