About
About the Captain
Fish with “Capt. Jason Colby”, a man who for many years made his living catching fish with a rod and reel.
Capt. Jason has personally caught 24 Striped Bass over 50 lbs and took a Striper that topped the scales at 64 1/4 lbs. (personal best)
We fish from a 31 foot Contender fish catching machine with dual 300hp Yamahas and an electric motorized Minn-Kota anchor to hold us on GPS spots (called “Spot-Lock”) without having to put down a traditional anchor – which is much more bottom friendly and doesn’t spook the fish. The Minn Kota is also far more accurate than an anchor for targeting small pieces of structure that are seldom fished. Bait and tackle is included aboard but you are always welcome to bring your own.
*Note that space is very limited. Bring sunglasses, your smartphone camera, sunblock and anything you want to eat. Keep in mind there is no working head on the boat.*


That is a fine looking bird (and captain!)…
“Bird” has been aboard for 11 years now! He is mostly seen aboard while flounder fishing in and around Quincy Bay. He has a mate (“LadyBird”) and they nest on a nearby island. Bird is the Alpha Male Blackback Gull in the Quincy Bay area and he is not shy, often walking around the boat like he owns it. The only thing Bird really lets everyone know he does not like is kids. He doesn’t even like his own kids, much less anyone elses. Bird is the ultimate “herring gobbler”, often arriving on Little Sister just to keep us company and too full to eat another bite. When there are lots of herring around (like in June), Bird uses the boat as a place to watch for schools of the things while he calculates how much room he has in his belly so he knows when to grab some more! At these times he often gets angry if anyone tries to feed him because he has all the food he wants without any help.

“Night Striped Bass”
Month
April
The boat gets launched in Quincy early in the month and we start right off with haddock. The fishing has been great and “easy limits” have been the norm on most trips. The regulations allow for 15 haddock per person and in some years we can keep a cod or two. Dress warm and bring gloves, just in case.
May
The haddock fishing stays strong all month and the flounder fishing gets better by the day. By mid May the flounder fishing is reaching it’s peak with the biggest flounder near the end of the month.
June
As the water warms the haddock move off to deeper, cooler water while early in the month the flounder fishing is still very strong and it is at this time of year we typically get our biggest flounder. Three, four and even 5 pound flounder (up to 5 pounds, 9 ounces) have been caught on Little Sister in past Junes. About June 16th the boat hops aboard her trailer for the ride to Westport, Ma where she spends the rest of the season. There, in the latter part of June we get right into monster stripers along with schoolies and “slot fish” if anyone wants to bring home fillets. Late June is also the time for fluke and sea bass just outside the Westport River. Don’t forget the scup!
July and August
Sea bass! Lots of sea bass;…”easy limits” of jumbo sea bass are expected on most trips with lots of “catch and release” as well. These trips often see bluefish breaking on the surface and we always have rods ready to cast when we see them. Bonito and false albacore mix in with the blues as the summer wears on. Cod are on The Hills and Coxes Ledge and as the surface temps rise, mahi can be had on these trips as well. Throughout the summer there can be good fishing for fluke off Newport and/or Noman’s Island but note that 2021 was not good at all for fluke.
Also, if you want to fill a cooler with scup, it is a great way to introduce kids to fishing as the action can be very fast paced!
September/October/November
Striped Bass are available in good numbers and sizes through mid October at least. Sea bass fishing shuts down in the second week of September and we start to concentrate on blackfish more and more. By mid October and through until mid November when we pull the boat for the season, it becomes “all blackfish” with some true monsters being hooked each year. Many of these fish break people off and some of them make it to the boat. Blackfish are strong! Are you stronger?
