Wavelength Fishing Charters operates out of Plymouth, Massachusetts, offering guided deep-water and big-game fishing trips aboard a professionally equipped charter vessel. The operation focuses on groundfishing and offshore sport fishing in Massachusetts Bay and on Stellwagen Bank, targeting cod and haddock in spring and tuna and striped bass in summer through fall. Trip options include an eight- to ten-hour Cod and Haddock Fishing Trip from mid‑April to early June that fishes 130 to 200 feet for groundfish; an eight- to ten-hour Tuna and Shark Fishing Trip from July through late fall targeting legal-sized tuna and sharks; and a ten-hour Tuna and Striped Bass Fishing Trip beginning in July that pursues legal-sized tuna and striped bass ranging from five to fifty pounds. Each trip provides rods, tackle, and safety equipment consistent with standard charter practice, and captains follow state and federal fishing regulations to ensure compliance for size and bag limits. Anglers of varying experience levels are accommodated, with on-board instruction in baiting, rigging, and landing fish. Weather, sea conditions, and fish migrations determine exact scheduling and success, and the charter adjusts trips accordingly. Wavelength Fishing Charters emphasizes clean handling and bleeding techniques for table-quality fish and provides guidance on filleting and keeping catches within legal requirements.
Bookings are scheduled seasonally and depend on weather and fish availability; anglers should confirm departure times, gear requirements, and applicable regulations before arrival.
