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,

I’ve been on ten charters in various states and this charter is easily top two I’ve experienced. Both Captain Joe and First Mate Erik have a wealth of experience and worked relentlessly to ensure we were on the fish.

We had two young boys with us 7 and 9 as well as a first time fisher (65+) and everyone had a tremendous time. We learned a lot, caught a lot, took home a few that were slot size and my son caught a 40 lbs+ stripper completely solo.

Great memories were had by everyone and I’m confident we’ll be back to book with fish tales next time we’re in Boston.

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

A group of four of us went out with Captain Joe and First Mate Artie to celebrate my son’s birthday and we had a great time. The crew worked hard to get us on the stripers, and after a bit we hit them pretty well. They kept the lines in the water as much as possible, kept the bait fresh, and just made the experience so memorable for all of us. Would definitely go out with them again!

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!!
