A great experience all around.  Captain Jim was very responsive by e-mail and text prior to the trip, answering questions and providing confirmations and clear directions.  The boat and fishing equipment were in great shape, and the boat was very roomy for our party of six.  Captain Jim and the “first mate” (I think his name was Artie) were at the dock ahead of time, and had already caught and prepared all of the bait (pogies) by the time we arrived.  Both were very friendly and informative, and patient with the less-experienced anglers in our group.  Price of the trip was very reasonable.  They kept us on fish all morning.  Will definitely call Captain Jim / Boston Fish Tales next time I’m in Boston.

First of all, WOW! Captain Joe is very passionate about fishing and it shows in the quality of fishing for Stripped Bass. I have fished out of Venice, LA, Cabo, Galveston, Miami,Florida, and have not had a start to finish great experience like this. He not only got us hooked up, he also took the time to teach my siblings how to free line and fish with different techniques their first times successfully.
He has been fishing 50+ years and knows a lot about Boston and fishing. I enjoyed learning from him as well as catching over 20 Bass. We kept 5 he filleted quickly.he’s deckhand Jon was a great guy with great knowledge and super helpful throughout.  I can honestly say I will be back for another experience with him. He’s a great human being and one hell of a Captain.

The reason I gave it five stars is because I can’t give it more than five stars! It’s worth **hidden content** stars. It’s definitely worth it! Great fishing experience, all four of us novices caught at least 3 fish under the direction of the captain and crew. Great trip, captain and crew wanted the fish bite bait more than any of us, great day! Our only problem now is that there are so many big fish that our fridge is full! Can’t wait to book again (before we do, we need to clear out our fridge). This is our first time fishing, thanks again to joe and his crew for their patience!

Joe and Artie were awesome!!! We got there early and they were ready to go! They educated us on the correct way to use the rod and hook the fish. They helped in every aspect of the trip. Took us to various places to where the fish were. We caught out limit of Striper in less than 3 hours and kept fishing till it was time to head back. Awesome guys awesome fishing!!! Thanks Joe and Artie!

If you’re looking for a boat and you’re wondering if Captain Joe is any good, ask your self this one question. “Do I want to catch over 40 fish” if the answer is no then this is not the boat for you. But if you’re like me and the boys and want to provide food for all of your friends and family the answer is “Hell yeah”. Captain Joe got us our limit within 20 minutes of the trip. Overall awesome experience and will come back! Captain Joe will not rest, he will not waste any time and uses every second efficiently! Awesome boat!
