Captain John Lee and his deckhand Chris are amazing! Planned an annual Tog fishing trip with the guys in RI and booked with them for the first time. Oh man, they didn’t disappoint.  They put us on some great fish, the boat limited out and we learned so much about the local fishery from these two. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole trip.  The boat was spacious and perfect for what we wanted. We are already planning a second trip with them for next month. Thank you again Captain John Lee and Chris!

Captain John and Chris were both phenomenal! We wanted to catch to eat and they ensured we went to the best locations to bring home some fish. They even made recommendations on how to cook our catch. Both were very knowledgeable and patient, and we all learned so much about the area and the fishing industry. We experienced some rough conditions throughout the first half of the charter, and both John and Chris did a great job making us feel safe and confident on the water despite the roughness. If you’re looking to have a great fishing experience with true locals, this is your charter.

Booked a charter with captain John for a work outing with my 2 guys and brought my son along with us.  John and mate Chris did a great job of putting us on the fish all day long.  They were very friendly and knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun.  Hooked into some big fish early (bass and sharks) and then switched to some bottom fishing for a nice mixed bag of fluke, seabass, and scup.  Went home with plenty of fish for the dinner table.

I always take my grandchildren on a special date for their birthdays instead of giving them a gift. This was a 3-way combination date for some of my grandsons who have birthdays that are close. Since we could have up to 6 people on the boat, we included a couple more of my grandsons. They ranged in age from 9 - 17.
Captain John took good care of us and his first mate, Chris was awesome! He connected really well with my grandsons and told them some great stories. He was a character.
The ride out to Block Island was pretty choppy resulting in all but one of us getting pretty seasick. My thought was that the boys were miserable and I was feeling pretty badly about it. But everyone rallied and recovered and ultimately all of them caught some great fish and they had a wonderful time!!
It was definitely a date that would go down in infamy and if nothing else, they will always remember the time that Nana took them on a date and everyone got sick.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our four-hour charter with John and Chris, who work exceptionally well together and have a wonderful camaraderie that makes you feel like you are with friends. We caught a LOT of fish and always had the help we needed. We highly recommend JL Charters and would definitely book with them again. Thank you, John and Chris!
