- Background
- Fishing has been a part of my life ever since I was a kid, starting in local ponds catching largemouth bass, then eventually leading me to the beaches of Cape Cod, where I’d surf cast for striped bass and bluefish. My father spent over 40 years commercial fishing, and growing up around that lifestyle taught me discipline, respect for the ocean, and what real time on the water looks like. When I was really young, I’d join my dad on the boat, catching tuna right alongside him and hand-lining cod on trips I’ll never forget. Those early memories on the water sparked everything that came after. In my late teens, I gained even more hands-on experience working on a commercial lobster and tuna boat — hauling lobster traps 40 miles off shore, and making trips to Maine and Georges Bank chasing giant bluefin tuna. Those years built the foundation that shaped the fisherman and guide I am today. My passion for land based shark fishing began the night I hooked my first brown shark from shore. The power and adrenaline changed everything. From that moment on, I was determined to learn everything about the fishery — rod & reel setups, tides, proper bait, moon phases, weather patterns, and how these sharks move through Cape Cods waters. That commitment drove me to understand the brown shark fishery inside and out. CapeJaws was created to share that experience with others. Every trip focuses on safety, conservation, and giving clients an unforgettable, hands-on encounter with one of the Cape’s most powerful coastal predators. The best part of guiding is seeing families and first-time anglers light up when a shark reaches the shoreline. Those smiles, those moments, those stories — that’s why CapeJaws exists, and it’s why I love what I do. Book an adventure today!
- Techniques
- Most of the gear we use are light spinning gear setups like 10k spinning reels + conventional gear such as 80w reels. We use drones / kayaks to deploy our baits.
