Reel Addicted Charters – Port Ewen 

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.

this was the perfect fishing trip. the boat was comfortable, well equipped with state of the art gear, the captain and the mate couldn't have been better and the end result of fishing was more than we could have expected. we caught fish of the eagle limit to take home and eat and we caught two whoppers that had to be but back in the water. imagine on a single trip we caught a 41" and a 45". landing the 45" was something to watch as the captain and the first mate worked as a well oiled machine to bring it in and get it back into water. couldn't have asked for a better day on the river. highly recommend michael and his very special boat. as i didn't take any photos i hope he posts ones of the two big fish we caught,
