Captain Joe and mate Artie not only put myself and my 12 year old son onto fish right out of the gate but they both were really attentive in teaching my son about the fishing techniques and keeping him interested all day long. It was his very first time saltwater fishing and by the way, we crushed the strippers that day catching two dozen mature fish. You can really see their passion for catching trophy stripper’s that even when our charter was about up, Joe said let’s go find a couple more, and as he predicted we caught another few to ensure we ended our trip in excitement.
I am an experienced fisherman who has been on many fishing charters all across the country and I can say if you truly want a great experience go see Captain Joe and make great memories with your crew. I plan to come back to Boston next year to take another Fish Tales ride for great fishing and great family fun.
Cheers and happy fishing,

It was a dream come true fishing with captain Joe and his great deck hand.
Being from Ireland and growing up seeing fishing for stripers on TV it’s always been an ambition of mine to catch a big one when visiting the states.
Joe put us on the fish with a 45lb fish the best of the day . We had lots of takes and landed plenty of fish , we kept a couple and released the rest to fight another day . Joes boat is spotless and very comfortable too.
I’ve fished all over the world and Joe is up there with one of the best skippers I’ve fished with. I’d highly recommend him and his boat. Conor Dublin Ireland

Captain Joe was great in every aspect - from pre-trip communication to the actual fishing. He and his fist mate, Steve, worked hard to give us a great experience. We caught some amazing stripers, and had a blast!

Fish Tails Charter out of Winthrop, MA. Is amazing! Capt. Joe and Artie did it up for me and my son! First class all the way! The extra effort they put in before we arrived paid off in huge fish ways!! We not only caught some mackerel for bait which was crazy fun, but some massive stripper. Capt. Joe and Artie knew all the spots and what the fish loved. Could not have asked for a better time. We will 1000% book them again when we make another trip to Boston!! Thanks Capt. Joe and Artie for everything!!
