Ortus means rising in Latin. We love the rise of the sun on Cape Cod and the birth of a new fishing day – let us share it with you!
Bass and Blues
We use various tactics to catch striped bass and bluefish that call the Cape home from May to October every year.

Join us on a charter and experience the challenge and the thrill of catching one of these beautiful, powerful and tasty fish.
