Where to Meet Us
My main harbors are Green Harbor (Marshfield Town Pier) and Buzzards Bay. Green Harbor has a departure point that is very, very close to the open ocean, which means a quick ride before we can “open her up” and head out to the fishing grounds. We fish from Green Harbor for cod/haddock, tuna, some shark trips, and some striper/blue trips. Buzzards Bay is a great marina because have easy access to sea bass, fluke, scup(porgy), and great spring/fall striper/bluefishing on light tackle. Additionally, we can even run our shark trips from Buzzards Bay. We also run shark trips from Falmouth (behind the Flying Bridge Restaurant) and we run striper/blue trips from the Sandwich Marina at the East End of the Canal.
Green Harbor Directions
From Points North of Green Harbor. (such as Boston, NH, Maine)
Get onto Route 3 south towards Cape Cod (Route 3 starts in Braintree). Follow for about 20 minutes
south of Braintree to Exit 11 (see "From Route 3")
From Points West of Boston (such as western Mass, New York, even CT, PA, and NJ)
Take Mass Pike East to Exit 14. Take route 128/95 south to Braintree, where you pick up Route 3.
Caution: The names of the roads get tricky: That is to say, you'll go south on 128/95 and after Exit 13, Route 128 ends,
route 95 splits to the right (and looks like an exit), and exit 12 "is the main highway". You continue straight--don't follow route 95!!!!
Route 3 is only 10 minutes from there
From Points south of Green Harbor (and down to SE Conn...)
Take Route 3 North to Exit 11. if you're south of Green Harbor. If you're to the west at all, just email me for directions--it really depends on where you live.
There are many routes that you can take. Basically, you'll be doing this...

Take Route 195 east until the end. Stay in left lane and continue onto Route 495 north for one exit. Get off at Exit 2 (Route 58). Go right off of exit. Continue on this road for about 12 miles.

Where we leave from will be determined based on the species of fish we are after and/or any special requests from our customers. From Green Harbor and Plymouth, we have an easy ride to the cod fishing grounds on Stellwagon Bank as well as to the shores of Provincetown. There the striper/bluefish trolling is fantastic. There is also a very good fluke fishery off of those shores as well.
