Brian Frey5.0Half day trip
5 Hour Trip (PM) on May 11, 2025Had an awesome trip on the Hudson River! It honestly felt more like fishing with friends than being on a charter. Super laid back, knowledgeable, and willing to help however he could. He even shared tips and spots I can try on my own in the future, which I really appreciated. At the end of the day he sent me home with all the bait we had left too. If you’re looking for a great day on the water with someone who genuinely wants you to have a good time and catch fish, I’d definitely recommend booking a trip!
Tom Brady5.0VerifiedSo much more then anticipated
5 Hour Trip (PM) on April 29, 2026 • 4 adults2 couples in our 60s went out and could not have had a better time, Chris was amazing, we caught 28 stripers from 22 inches up to 40, also if your wondering there is plenty of room on the boat. Will definitely do it again with "keepin it reel sportfishing". Tom Brady
Jeff Carroll5.0Day trip with Captain Chris
5 Hour – Striped Bass Fishing Trip on May 30, 2025Genuinely Captain Chris loves what he does. Every time I’m on the boat with him fishing on the Hudson River it is a highlight I’ll never forget. He will put you all on fish. I’ve gone out with him many times and majority have all been nice weather conditions. One time conditions were rough very windy and rainy, Chris still continued to put us over schools of fish, maintaining great bait presentations, etc. He is absolutely dedicated to his craft. You cannot ever go wrong with booking a trip with this guy. He is checking everything the entire trip. He will tell you to watch specific rods at times when he knows a fish is about to strike, he will give recommendations on how to properly handle releasing these beautiful fish, and most of all his trips make you feel fulfilled. If you want to fish with a captain? It’s Chris.
Ken Prezzano5.0Half day trip with Captain Chris
5 Hour Trip (PM) on May 7, 2025Keeping It Reel Fishing Charters is an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone. I have gone out striper fishing on the Hudson with Captain Chris the past two years and again this spring. He is a wealth of knowledge and takes the time to teach you his techniques. I first learned about him by watching his videos on YouTube, where he demonstrates how he ties his rigs and how he fishes for stripers in the Hudson River. Check out the link if you want to see some of his videos. https://www.youtube.com/@Keepinitreelbaitandtackle/videos
James Liberati5.0July fishing trip
on July 18, 2025Captain Chris was great! I wish I had some photos of the Hugh stripers he put us onto. We were a group of four and we all got big fish!. We did a night trip to Block Island. The water was rough but Chris and the boat handled it well ! I would highly recommend Chris. Tight Lines , Jim
