Captain Jim Lynch consistently delivers exceptional fishing results across multiple species, with customers regularly catching stripers, flounder, haddock, redfish, and sharks. One memorable trip yielded over 25 fish plus 10+ lobsters, while another produced 18 stripers with several exceeding 37 inches and 19 pounds, including a massive 44-inch, 33-pound catch. Jim's deep knowledge of local waters shows as he puts anglers on fish within minutes of leaving the dock and strategically moves between productive spots when bites slow down. Customers consistently praise Jim's warm, personable nature and exceptional teaching ability with first-time anglers and families. He takes extra care with seasick passengers, ensures teenagers have positive experiences, and maintains strict adherence to legal fishing regulations even when releasing impressive catches. Many note his background at Crossroads Bait and Tackle adds valuable expertise, while his friendly professionalism and thorough fish cleaning service complete outstanding trips that leave families eager to return.

Trip - Inshore Fishing Charter Newburyport MA – Striped Bass, Bluefish, and more on July 9, 2023

We highly recommend Captain Jim Lynch. We had a fantastic experience fishing with him. We were a little concerned about booking a trip like this online, but he reached out to us to confirm the trip and was ready and waiting when we arrived. Our group was quite new to fishing and had never taken a trip like this. He quickly taught us what we needed to know and got us out on the water catching fish. He sought out multiple fishing spots to make sure we got a great experience and caught plenty of stripers. He was also very attentive when one of us felt a little seasick and took extra time to ensure that our teenager had a really positive experience on the trip. We were impressed by the care he took to ensure that we only kept legal fish, even though we were sad to toss bag a VERY large striper. He was friendly and professional throughout the trip and did a super job cleaning the fish that we took home to eat. Overall, we had a wonderful time!

Trip - Inshore Fishing Charter Newburyport MA – Striped Bass, Bluefish, and more on October 27, 2021

Fishing with Captain Jim made for a fantastic fall afternoon. Even though it was relatively late in the season for striper fishing, we were on fish within 5 minutes of leaving the dock! Jim was very keyed in on keeping us on fish and finding new schools when the bite died down. It was clear that Jim is knowledgeable in his craft, and picking his brain on boating and striper fishing taught us a lot! If you are looking for a professional captain in Newburyport who is eager to put you on fish, Captain Jim is your guy!
