This is not your typical charter, we teach and share the entire process and offer accommodations for a full weekend experience; not just the sport in fishing.

Our cap at his other gig!

IAABO officials on the NCAA stage. 👏

During the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament First Round at Wesleyan College, IAABO members represented multiple boards on a big March stage:

(L to R)
John Sousa – Bd. 54
Chris Devlin – Bd. 27
Kenny Pigeon – Bd. 95 (Alternate)
Mamadou Ba – Bd. 27

NYU defeated Gettysburg, 65–53, but every possession was managed by a crew that has put in the work, season after season, to be ready for this moment.

Thank you to Peter Palermino and our Connecticut boards for highlighting IAABO officials in action at the next level.

Fresh water availability calendar.

Red is blocked, blue is a shared trip with spots open or a limited start time (please text me), and green is open. All bass trips are first light and last two-three hours. (Afternoons are not open I just have to leave it like this in order to leave the mornings open)

Potential for many changes in our hunting community including: allowance for use of crossbows, hunting on Sundays, and distance from dwellings/roads. Take some time to submit comments or attend a meeting!

MassWildlife is gathering public input on Sunday hunting, hunting with crossbows, and minimum discharge setbacks distances for hunting.

“US”

Captain - John Sousa USCG Six Pack Captain’s License, fully insured. John grew up fishing fresh water and salt water across Massachusetts. He is a full time Special Education at Upper Cape Tech, Head Women’s Soccer Coach at Mass Maritime Academy, and a Division II College Basketball Official.

First Mate - Erin Higgins - Erin is John’s wife, she learned the water from him the past five years and is a master of bottom fishing and live lining. She has multiple bass over 40 pounds and often “outfishes” John. Erin possess her Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

I (John) have had a passion for fishing since I can remember; as I have grown older this passion has shifted more to the entire process. Literally from late April until early November my wife (Erin) and I “Live by The Sea and Plan by The Tides”. I am starting more than a fishing charter, this is a full experience with accommodations available. This is not your typical “Catch as many as possible” or “Catch the biggest possible” charter. We are going to offer this experience to friends and family first; pricing will be modest, the experience will be organic yet amazing, and most important you will get to experience the little slice of heaven we carved out on the waters edge in Buzzards Bay.
