A black sea bass fishing charter on Cape Cod is second to none. The black sea bass is what we, who fish Nantucket Sound off the coast of Cape Cod in the spring, consider a game fish with excellent table fair. Not really a bass at all, but part of the grouper family, they are truly a beautiful fish with a black background and speckles. The males get a hump on their back and light up with a turquoise and bluish purple spectrum on the top of their heads. When hooked up on light tackle they are a lot of fun to catch.×

A porgy (scup) fishing charter on Cape Cod is second to none. Scup, commonly referred to as the Porgy, is what kicks off our spring recreational fishery season in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Cape Cod. Like the black sea bass it is a fish with excellent table fair. In the month of May enormous schools of Scup storm Nantucket Sound. Basically a thin, flat fish, bluish and silver in color, they look like a pompano with a sharp forked tail. Porgies hit your bait like an electrical shock and when hooked on light tackle they are a lot of fun to catch.×

Come and join the Crew of the Magellan for the Cape Cod shark fishing charter of a life time. You have heard people say it is all about, "Location, Location, Location" and that is exactly why you should fish with us. Located in Harwich Port, MA on Cape Cod, we have access to some of the world's best shark fishing. We fish the waters east of Chatham, MA and south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket because that is where the bait is. The shoal waters around Cape Cod and the Islands are some of the most fertile waters in the world because of the mixture of warm and cold water that naturally accrues in this area. Squid, Herring, Butter Fish, Mackerel, Sand Eels, Bluefish and Ground Fish make up the best possible food source for sharks. In 2001 Luke Sweeney set the I.G.F.A. all tackle world record for a Mako Shark he caught just to the east of us off the coast of Cape Cod weighing in at 1,221 pounds.×

Have you ever really gotten the blues? If not you are in luck because a Bluefish charter on the Magellan out of Harwich Port, MA on Cape Cod can't be beat. Bluefish are by far the most aggressive, pound for pound, hardest fighting fish in the ocean. They are loaded with omega 3 fatty acid which is good for your heart, but the fight they put up can be a strain on your back. They even fight you once on board and if you are not careful will try to bite you when taking the hook out. The waters off Cape Cod, especially on Nantucket shoals, are teeming with Bluefish. We like to target them on surface baits in the tide rips. It is not uncommon when fishing off Nantucket be able to catch a thousand pounds of Bluefish on a full day trip. We have had countless days when we were averaging a fish a minute in the box. Tail-walking, hard-hitting, train wreck-like crashing the surface baits until your arms feel like they will fall off. The average size we see run from about 8 to 15 pounds. The largest we have ever put on a scale weighed 22 pounds. The I.G.F.A. world record for Bluefish was caught off Hatteras N.C. in 1972. It weighed in at 32 pounds. Wow what a beast! Bluefish are found world wide even in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. They are one of only 3 fish in the Pomatomidea family. Gorillas, Chompers, Yellow eyed devils, Blue Berries, Slammers and Alligators are some names you will hear fishermen use when referring to Bluefish.×
