Get the best of both worlds with our Combo Shark & Groundfish Charter—a full-day offshore adventure with Whistler Fishing Charters, designed for anglers who want action-packed groundfishing and the thrill of big-game shark fishing in a single trip. Departing from Cape Ann Marina in Gloucester, Massachusetts, this trip delivers nonstop excitement and a variety of species you won’t forget.
Our Combination Trips are designed for anglers who want the best of both worlds. Begin by targeting groundfish species like haddock and pollock. Then, shift gears and chase apex predators—whether it’s battling a porbeagle shark or going head-to-head with a giant bluefin tuna.
Whether you’re new to deep sea fishing or looking to cross off a bucket list catch, this is the trip that delivers.
We kick things off by targeting haddock and pollock on proven bottom structure. Using baited rigs and jigs, you’ll get plenty of chances to bring home fresh, flaky fillets. This is steady, rewarding fishing that gets everyone on the deck involved and engaged—perfect for anglers of all levels.
After groundfishing, we go on the hunt for giants. Depending on conditions, we’ll troll, live-line mackerel, or chunk cut bait to tempt bluefin into striking. These fish hit hard and fight harder. If you hook one, you’ll remember the battle for years.
After loading up on groundfish, we switch to heavy tackle and set up a slick for porbeagle, blue and mako sharks (makos are release only, per current regulations). When one takes the bait, hang on—these fish are strong. We use circle hooks and practice safe, sustainable catch-and-release.
We outfit the boat with serious gear: heavy-duty tuna setups, premium groundfish rods, and all the terminal tackle you’ll need. From bait to safety gear, everything’s ready when you step aboard—just bring your essentials and a good attitude.
