If you’re an experienced angler who’s looking for some thrilling fishing action, or if you’re a familly person looking to make some good memories, Tall Tailz Charters will provide you with some interesting trips. So come down to Jamestown and have a fishing adventure in comfort and style. You’ll be under the guidance of Captain Connor Macleod who’ll spark your passion for fishing.

You’ll be cruising the local waters on board the JC, downseat model from 1979, which was restored in 2015. It is 31’ and it holds enough space to host 4 guests per trip. The boat is fitted with a single Cummins engine that can reach the top speed of 26 kn. If you want to do your best trolling game, you can use the outriggers, and also fishfinding equipment is available.

This charter covers a wide area that includes inshore, nearshore, and offshore locations. More active anglers will love all the pelagic fish available. You can grapple with Blue Marlin, or you can target several species of Tuna. If you want to take it slow you can go after delicious Flounder. There are several fishing techniques you can try like light tackle, deep sea fishing, and trolling, to name some.

Families with children are welcome. The charter covers your Rhode Island fishing island and it will also provide you with the necessary fishing equipment, lures, and baits. The crew offers drinks as refreshments, and for your greater comfort, you can use the onboard kitchen, toilet, and bed. There’s even snorkeling equipment for relaxation.  If you need additional help, you can ask the first mate. You can keep your catch, and the crew will help you with the cleaning.

Don’t miss out to have a memorable adventure on the ocean so contact Tall Tailz Charters.

Full Day Trip – Inshore

Fantastic Experience

VERIFIED

Wanted to take a minute and thank Conner and Tugger for a great fishing trip. We caught a lot of fish, but it was primarily due to Conner’s professional approach to locating the fish and tactics used to catch them. It wasn’t easy and that’s what made it great. Also, the first mate was the most adorable pooch as well as the most passionate fisherman. What a smart, good boy. I will absolutely be back to fish with Conner and Tugger again and I highly recommend that anyone on the area looking to fish does the same.

Our family highly recommends booking with Captin Connor! The boat had solid equipment and was well maintained. He was informative, patient and we felt safe. He worked hard to make sure we found huge fish. Our boys will never forget the day! We hope to plan a trip with him again soon!

Full Day Trip – Inshore

Full day with captain Connor

VERIFIED

One of the best days I’ve had in a long time. The fishing was amazing, and everything went above and beyond any expectations! I already booked a second trip before the season is up, that is how amazing today was! We had a wide range of experience with our group, that being said our captain explained and demonstrated everything and honestly was a lot of fun. No matter how tangled the line got or something went wrong, Connor didn’t even sigh once, he just said “take this pole ( back up pole, with new bait already on) and give me a minute” he would resolve the issue and with a smile say “you got this” can’t say enough good things! Overall I would say this day was 100/100
