Fishing Guide Services

Whether you are interested in fly fishing from a boat, wading in the flats, light tackle or heavy duty surf casting, day or night, Nelson's can hook you up with one of our certified professional guides. These fellows offer a wide range of options for the angler in search of that trophy bass, and have been fishing the Outer Cape for a combined total of over 100 years! Clients must provide their own equipment, although our guides always have a full array of lures and equipment with them if a special lure or fly is "hot" or a client's equipment malfunctions.

Call or e-mail us with your wishes and we will make it happen!!

Steve Kean
Steve is a hard-core fisherman, and spends every bit of his time fishing the beaches of Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet and Eastham during the Spring, Summer and Fall. During the winter he fishes in the Southern locales, including Texas and Costa Rica.

Steve offers one or two person striped bass and bluefish fly fishing, light tackle, and regular surf fishing charters. Depending on the tides and where the fish are hitting, the charter could be on the flats of Wellfleet, the beaches of the National Seashore, or any of the numerous Cape Cod Bay or ocean beaches on the Outer Cape. Steve's trips are physically demanding and not for the novice angler. Even with a fully rigged four wheel drive vehicle, one can expect to walk a few miles through shifting sands on the outer beaches or wade over acres of low water in search of that big bass.

Although custom charters are available, most of Steve's clients choose from the following two:

The Overnighter - although start and end times for this trip are dictated by the tides, most of the time this overnighter starts late in the evening and lasts until dawn. This charter normally lasts from 6 to 8 hours.

Sunrise/Sunset - depending on the tide, these charters normally start one to three hours before sunrise/sunset and last a few hours after. The trip normally runs from 4 to 6 hours, and is the tour most of Steve's clients opt for.

Steve starts his season when the fish arrive, normally in late April or early May, and he offers trips right through the summer and fall, normally shutting down towards the end of October.
