Reel Addicted Charters – Port Ewen 

Awesome day!! Striper fishing has been on my bucket list for years, this was all I hoped for and more. Set up with Captain Mike with Reel Addicted Charters out of Port Ewen. Was easy, appreciated him touching base the day before and answering our questions. Ryan and John took us out for the afternoon. Bite was on immediately, couldn't keep all the lines in the water. Things slowed down later in the afternoon, team was constantly in contact and comparing notes. Fish finder was great, we knew the stripers were there. Just had to work it, be patient as the tide shifted and try a few spots. Sure enough, the team's knowledge and gear got us into a few more including two really big fish right at the end of day. Fished many years, fabulous experience with a great crew! Friendly, professional, super nice boat, and really fun to fish with. Looking forward to doing it again!

Captain Mike and crew came highly recommend, and now we know why. First class experience from start to finish. His knowledge and skills are priceless! My son and I are planning our next trip with mike right now. You will not be disappointed i promise!

Captain Mike and his Dad worked very hard to give us the best experience possible. Four of us all caught fish including a forty pounder! Captain Mike is the “fish whisperer” and knows how to find them even when others cannot. Boat is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this charter if you like catching fish!

We booked with late notice and Reel Addicted was the only charter we could find with the availability we needed. That’s not always a good thing but it worked out for us in this case. I emailed a bunch of charters not associated with Fishing Booker but the service made it easy to find the date and time that worked for us quickly, most guides don’t list their availability online. The boat is top-notch, outfitted with modern electronics, electronically controlled down riggers and quality rod/reel combos. He fishes large, custom painted raps, exclusively, for stripers and he is an active captain, lots of color/pattern changes. The bite wasn’t “on” but he still managed to put us on some trophy fish and catch some smaller slot fish. Two things you can’t control while fishing are the bite and the weather, we got lucky with one of them, and with persistence, dealt with the other. Solid B or B+ grade, but that’s not his fault. If the fish had been a little more active it could have easily been A+. Mike wants to catch the fish and will do anything he can to give you a great trip. I look forward to booking with him again. Maybe try one of the Lake Ontario charters this summer.

The weather being a little fickle, this did not daunt the talent and expertise of Captain Mike! A little rain, a little sunshine - and many fish still jumping on the line! What a terrific experience. This was my second venture with Reel Addiction and it won't be my last! Lady Anglers rule!

Mike and Nick worked nonstop to get us on fish. Great experience, would book again!

Wow… We are so thankful that we got to book with Mikey. I booked as a result of all the fantastic reviews and we were not disappointed. Fantastic boat, incredible equipment and fabulous customer service. Mikey works hard to ensure you catch great fish. Our first fish was 41 inches and 38 to 40 pounds. Love bringing in those stripers. Grin! My grandson brought in the biggest catch of the day. We caught approximately 12 or 13 fish. So exciting.

Went out with Captain Michael in May. We were marking plenty of fish but the bite was really slow. Captain Michael was determined and worked constantly changing lures and networking on the radio to find the fish, ensuring a good day on the water which we certainly had. Caught total of 10 stripers including two over 36" plus limit for keepers. Thanks again for a really great experience and looking forward to another trip with you!

It was a slow day of fishing but Captain Mike worked hard and was very knowledgeable. I managed to nail my PB striper due to him. The boat and equipment was in excellent condition and his gear was all top notch. Overall it was a great trip and I strongly recommend him.

Captain Mike and Nick were friendly and super professional. I would recommend their charter to anyone!
