Capt. Jim What would the cost be for the Flounder only? My grandson could handle them.
Thanks

Richie, yes on your grandson, not sure on you. 8 hour trip, $850 includes bait, chum, etc. limit 8 pp., you would limit out plus late may on bass @ sea bass in there. never really took advantage of this fishery but with regs. changing going to broaden my fishery. best, capt. jim

guys, trip really taking off! I am from long island, fished flatties my whole life till uncle sam called in 68. I really miss fishing for them. always aware of this fishery but with groundfishing so good never took advantage. was going to run quincy bay trips but commercials have taken their toll. short ride, well protected waters, limits almost a sure thing plus sea bass @ bass when in season. new mate Brendan, college kid has commercially fished these waters his whole life, clamming, flounders, bass, sea bass, fluke etc. knows Plymouth bay very well. a trip that I am looking forward to. best, capt. jim

I've been going to Quincy every 2-3 years since 2004. Love flounder fishing. First few years up there we'd also limit out on market sized cod (also limiting on flounder) while fishing in the bay as well.

I'd be more than willing to do either type of trip (although I'd give an edge to the combo trip). MY only problem is that it would have to be on a weekend as it's almost impossible for me to take a weekday off in the next few months.

If anyone is putting together one of these trips on a weekend, please feel free to drop me a PM.

quick follow up on these trips. straight flatties or combos, limited offering, wish I could do more, groundfishing main business. either way, lots of fish. best, capt. jim
